Public Affairs

Good policymaking rarely happens in a vacuum. And what Government does can have a profound effect on your organisation. That’s why getting your public affairs strategy right is so important. We work with clients internationally to communicate effectively with political decisionmakers.

We have extensive experience helping to shape public policy decisions in Westminster, Whitehall and the devolved administrations in Edinburgh, Cardiff, and Belfast. To achieve success we help clients quickly identify who their key political stakeholders are and then devise a strategic public affairs plan.

Our team of experts has successfully led public affairs campaigns that have changed laws and informed fiscal decisions. We move quickly to respond to the demands of a political system that is in a state of constant flux.

Devising a clear manifesto
We help clients develop a concise public policy ‘ask’. This ask is deliberately simple so as to create real cut through with time-poor politicians. We ensure this ‘ask’ is eminently deliverable within the reality of the constraints of the political landscape.
Building a coalition for change
Real change only occurs when a cacophony of voices are calling for it. We quickly identify the politicians that matter from multiple parties and devise a strategic plan as to how to reach them. We do this too for influential spokespeople and thought leaders from a range of civil society organisations.
Developing engaging events
We organise compelling events for clients attended by senior journalists. These range from political party conferences to policy symposiums arranged at the European Parliament in Brussels.
Conducting parliamentary activity
We have extensive experience navigating the minutiae of Parliamentary procedure. From Westminster Hall debates to Early Day Motions, we empower clients to make their case heard in Parliament.
Delivering executive engagement
We routinely organise meetings with senior people in Whitehall within Government Departments. We advise clients on the best way to approach these meetings and get the most out of limited time with some of the country’s most senior decisionmakers.
Creating lasting change
We know real success transcends organising meetings and briefing politicians. By helping clients shape the public policy landscape, we go all out to help organisations achieve tangible legislative change.
