We help organisations, from fast-growing start-ups to established national players, strengthen their public reputation, influence policy debates, and build constructive relationships with decision-makers.
Our support covers stakeholder engagement, political monitoring, campaign strategy, policy positioning, media relations, and issues management.
How you are perceived by policymakers, journalists, and community leaders plays a vital role in your ability to achieve change. Whether you are influencing legislation, preparing for a regulatory shift, or managing relationships with government bodies, clear and consistent communication is essential.
Your organisation’s reputation within the political and public arena depends on your ability to communicate your purpose, priorities, and long-term vision in a way that builds trust and credibility.
Our experience shows that organisations that invest in proactive public affairs and strategic advocacy are better positioned to shape policy, respond to political challenges, and secure long-term impact.
Services for organisations navigating the political and policy landscape
We provide a comprehensive range of public affairs services to help you engage clearly, confidently, and strategically with political stakeholders. Our offerings include:
Key policy messaging and positioning. We work with your leadership team to define and articulate your policy priorities, organisational objectives, and advocacy positions, turning complex information into clear, compelling messages. These form the foundation for all communications, from policy papers and consultation responses to speeches and interviews.
Political calendar and legislative milestones. We track key dates and developments across government and parliament, ensuring you are prepared to respond and contribute effectively. We help shape briefings, draft commentary for leadership, and prepare targeted content for engagement with MPs, peers, civil servants, and regulators.
Media relations with political and regional press. We proactively build your profile in national, regional, and sector-specific media. This includes securing coverage in outlets such as The Times, BBC News, and Politico, as well as placing op-eds and updates via social media platforms like LinkedIn and X to influence opinion-formers.
Stakeholder communications and engagement. Beyond formal consultations and inquiries, we help you develop an ongoing programme of engagement with decision-makers. This may include stakeholder events, one-to-one briefings with MPs or council leaders, and the creation of content that keeps your cause visible and relevant year-round.
Campaign strategy and advocacy support. For organisations seeking to influence policy or shift public opinion, we provide strategic campaign planning, messaging, and outreach to key influencers. We also arrange events in Westminster, devolved parliaments, or regional hubs to raise awareness and drive action.
Issues management and crisis communications. We prepare you for and guide you through high-risk situations such as policy disputes, regulatory investigations, or reputational challenges. Our role is to ensure your messaging is strategic, timely, and credible with political, media, and public audiences.
Enhancing digital advocacy and public presence. We help you develop a modern, stakeholder-friendly digital presence that communicates your positions, campaigns, and organisational values. We also ensure your leadership team is presented credibly online, supporting engagement and discoverability among political audiences.
Supporting sector-specific engagement. We have experience working with organisations in regulated industries and can help you connect with relevant committees, industry bodies, and local authorities to strengthen your influence and visibility.

We are passionate about PR
Here are two recent success stories:
Aquaa Partners – We were engaged by Aquaa Partners, a boutique M&A advisory firm, to position Chief Executive Paul Cuatrecasas as a leading authority on disruptive tech M&A following the publication of his book Go Tech or Go Extinct. Our strategy combined media relations with targeted stakeholder engagement, ensuring Aquaa’s expertise reached both industry leaders and policy influencers. When the Covid-19 lockdown disrupted planned in-person events, we swiftly adapted the campaign to deliver virtual media briefings and sector-specific webinars, aligning Aquaa’s insights with current economic and policy debates. This approach generated 55 pieces of high-profile coverage in outlets such as Forbes, Barron’s and Dow Jones MarketWatch, reaching over 593,000 industry decision-makers. Read more.

We framed the conflict as a post-Brexit challenge to British innovation by a European corporate giant, emphasising Avealto’s potential contribution to the UK economy and digital infrastructure. Our campaign combined media advocacy with direct political engagement, securing an exclusive feature in The Times followed by wider press coverage. In total, we achieved 10 pieces of targeted media exposure, including CEO interviews, reaching over 426,000 readers and applying crucial public and parliamentary pressure on Airbus. Read more.
