The chatter of social media, married with the advent of 24-hour news means it’s harder than ever for individuals and organisations to have their voice heard, their opinion shared, or knowledge and expertise showcased.

The digital transformation of traditional print media has seen a fragmentation in audience numbers and a dramatic fall in advertising revenue for newspapers. Paywalls have offered respite to some publications, but these are the minority. Editors and their teams of journalists remain under pressure to churn new content quickly and on smaller budget. 

The struggle to make online news commercially viable has seen a shift away from more considered investigative journalism to a more sensationalist approach aimed at securing X’s (formerly Tweets) and Facebook likes to drive online traffic. AI is only pouring fuel on this fire. 

This changing landscape has brought with it an increased risk for organisations and individuals across industries. Unfair and twisted allegations can be levelled, but with our collective knowledge spanning all forms of media we can help repair a damaged image and help clients protect against future events.

  • Political Monitoring and Insights

  • Stakeholder Mapping

  • Stakeholder Engagement (one-to-one meetings, roundtable Events, panel events)

We live in turbulent times. The effects of our departure from the European Union and the pandemic continue to be felt. Ongoing economic challenges and a looming general election mean that the political landscape remains dominated by uncertainty. 

Amidst this uncertainty lie both threats and opportunities. We will help you and your business navigate these threats and seize these opportunities. We will listen to your objectives, understand the implications of change for you, your business and your industry. 

We will identify the core decision-makers, their motivations for change and the mechanisms through which they can deliver it. Then, drawing on our political and media expertise, we will design and implement a campaign to rally a support base among media, political and academic influencers through which we will deliver the change you need.

Our service offering includes: 

  • Central Campaign Strategy Formulation

  • Single Issue Political and Media Engagement Campaigns

  • Digital and Social Media Campaigns

  • Stakeholder Engagement (One-to-one meetings, Roundtable Events, Panel Events)

  • Counter Campaigns

  • Thought Leadership

  • Speech Writing

  • Promotional and online asset curation

Some issues require a longer-term systemic approach drawing on both media and political strands above. These can range from single-issue campaigns at either a local or a national level through to counter-campaigning to put your case forward, either directly or indirectly, to decision makers being influenced by other groups with contrary interests to your own. We have extensive campaigning experience. Our team has first-hand knowledge of single-issue and counter campaigning.
