PUBLIC RELATIONS

You have a vision and you need a strategy to turn it into action.  There are many variables at play when determining the best course of action: diverse stakeholder sets; budgetary constraints, and the complex needs of your audience that need to be met. This requires creative, agile, and well-thought-out strategic communications plans, to help you navigate the course until the results you want are achieved.

GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS & ADVOCACY

We work closely with stakeholders to manage complex issues and the associated Ministerial, legislative or regulatory environment. We’re proud of our pragmatic, non-partisan advocacy approach which builds long-term relationships and sustainable outcomes. We are able to deliver activities ranging from rapid turnaround solutions on critical policy issues to the development of advocacy strategies and policy formulation, to build your voice and influence. A key component of our programs is the development of advocacy roadmaps, which outline the positions of key stakeholders including members of parliament, advisors, government and non-government organisations, and community groups. Mapping these key influencers and identifying areas of conformity, potential detente or vehement opposition provides a clear list of pragmatic opportunities for action.

  • Strategic, innovative and commercially relevant policy advice
  • Operation ready public affairs and policy programs
  • Operational and reputation risk assessment and agile engagement
  • Integrated communication campaigns
  • Communities of influence and stakeholder relationships
  • Cross-partisan strategies that engage key decision makers across the thought spectrum
