What the filings say the work is

Why this matters

These filings show which foreign bodies engage an American advertising and public relations firm. They list tourism offices for China, Germany and Japan, and a Queensland body for Australia. The Australian form names the government branch as "Tourism" and names its CEO as the official the firm engages with.^[1][3][2]

The law makes this public. The FARA form says every registration statement, supplemental statement, exhibit and copy of informational materials filed under the Act is a public record open to public examination. It says the Attorney General reports to Congress twice a year, listing all registered agents and the foreign principals they represent.^[3]

What is new, what is known, what is not known

• New: an Exhibit AB stamped 2026-08-12 names Tourism and Events Queensland (AUSTRALIA) as a foreign principal.
• New: a Supplemental Statement stamped 2026-07-21 covers the 6 month period ending 11/30/2025. For the foreign principals MMGY Global continued to represent, it says "See Appendix for Response". That appendix is not in the text reviewed.
• Known: the registration date, registrant number, the foreign principals listed in DOJ's index, the short-form registrants it names, and the 2017 description of the business.
• Not known from these sources: what specific services MMGY Global performs for each foreign principal, how much it is paid, and what informational materials it distributes. The 2017 registration points to attachments for receipts ("See Attachment E") and disbursements ("See Attachment F"). Those attachments are not in the text reviewed.^[3][4][1][2]
