 Company expects $70M in revenue in 2026, driven by Pinpoint Targeting, the most advanced decision-maker targeting in the market 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — March 12, 2026 — Rational 360, a leading full-service communications and digital marketing company, announced today that Stephanie Strategos Polis joined the company as Managing Director. Polis brings more than two decades of experience in strategic communications, public affairs, and reputational management across government, association, and corporate sectors.  

In her new role, Polis will advise clients navigating challenging policy, regulatory, and reputational environments, providing counsel on communications strategy, advocacy campaigns, and stakeholder engagement. Her appointment further strengthens the Rational 360 senior leadership team and capabilities as organizations increasingly seek integrated communications strategies that bridge policy and public affairs.  

“Stephanie is a GOP K Street veteran who understands how to translate complex issues into effective communications strategies. Her expansive network brings a broader perspective to our leadership team that will be incredibly valuable to our clients, particularly as our business continues to grow and scale,” said Patrick Dorton, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Rational 360. “Rational grew 60% this past year, and we anticipate a revenue of $70 million in 2026, thanks in large part to the advancement of our cutting-edge digital product, Pinpoint Targeting. Stephanie will play a critical role in our continued expansion.” 

Polis most recently served as Vice President of Public Affairs and Communications at the Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS), where she oversaw national communications initiatives and led integrated campaigns representing the plastics manufacturing supply chain, sustainable innovations, and the more than one million workers across the $551 billion industry. Prior, Polis drove successful public affairs on behalf of the American Property Casualty Insurance Association (APCIA). Her proven track record has been validated through her completion of the National Review Institute Fellowship program. 

“I’ve represented many industries facing challenges and public scrutiny, from product regulation to tariffs, sustainability, and tort reform. Rational 360 delivers the kind of solutions that organizational leaders need the most,” said Polis. “I’m excited to join a team known for bringing together creativity, strategy, and policy expertise, and look forward to supporting our clients as they navigate today’s exciting and ever-evolving communications landscape.” 

Polis has also held leadership roles at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Republican National Committee. Additionally, she served in the federal government as a Public Affairs Liaison for the U.S. Congressional Budget Committee, and as a Presidential Appointee in the Office of the Secretary at the U.S. Department of Labor.
