Public Affairs

Engage

v.   to connect

Effective public affairs comes from knowing when to connect, how to engage and challenge policy assumptions, when to take a stance, what alliances to make, what partners to embrace and when to seek compromise.

With our experience and knowledge of Scottish society and its systems (political, business and community), we know that it is not only about direct communications, but about gathering supporters and, when necessary, using their help to promote your message.

Our service includes:

  • advocacy in and influencing of the policy-making process (national and local); business and peer group; and community campaigns;
  • strategic planning advice and delivery;
  • community engagement
  • political and stakeholder contact programmes;
  • explanation of the political landscape;
  • supply of briefing notes on issues or legislation;
  • training in all areas of public affairs' related activity;
  • and support for consultation documents.

 

We work with you to identify the issues that are important to your business, then develop a strategy that identifies your key decision makers, builds your messages and advises how these should be communicated for maximum effect.

No black arts, no spin.
