Decisions made by local authorities and national governments can have a critical impact on the reputation of a business, not to mention its long-term success. That’s why it’s vital that your voice is heard by the people who make those decisions.
We find common ground with relevant stakeholders and build effective relationships that will stand the test of time.
Our public affairs toolkit
Many of our clients operate in very challenging markets, often highly-sensitive and regulated, where a fast-paced media or social media storm can have a damaging effect on their reputation and undermine what they are trying to achieve.
For other clients, the landscape and pace of life is much more sedate, but what they say, what they do and how they say it is no less important in building or preserving their reputation, and meeting their long-term organisational objectives.
What all of our clients want is a team of public affairs experts who can advise them on a variety of political, regulatory, legislative and policy-specific issues. We take pride in our ability to give calm, considered and informed counsel.
In order to resonate with decision-makers and deliver tangible results, you must be very clear in what you want to achieve. And then you must make a compelling case for your own position – and often provide balance or counter to competing viewpoints.
To enable organisations to engage confidently in the policy-making process, we provide political insight and intelligence, and work closely with them to refine and hone their messaging. By delivering credible, evidence-based cases to the right decision makers, at the right time, we give our clients the best possible opportunity to deliver the result they want.
