Mandate: Political & Public Affairs

Government & Institutional Communications

Communications for offices in power: public information, constituency reporting and transition planning.

Overview

Winning is the easy half. Governing while explaining yourself to a sceptical public, a demanding press and a constituency counting deliverables is the part most offices are unprepared for.

We build the communications function for government offices and public institutions, from first-hundred-days planning through routine constituency reporting.

What is included

  • Government Office Communications Setup
  • Public Information Campaigns
  • Constituency Reporting & Scorecards
  • Project Commissioning Communications
  • Executive & Ministerial Speechwriting
  • Press Conference Management
  • Citizen Engagement Programmes
  • Transition & First-100-Days Planning

    Measure

    Measure public awareness and satisfaction, and report honestly on delivery.

Questions

Before you enquire

Is this different from campaign communications?
Yes. Campaigning promises; governing reports. The reporting discipline is what keeps the next campaign credible.
Can you work with agencies rather than elected offices?
Yes, including regulators, commissions and development bodies.
Will you publish figures that look bad?
We will advise you to, with the context. Selective reporting is discovered, and costs more than the original number.

Often bought together

Stakeholder engagement, regulatory advocacy, coalition building and transparent lobbying.

Message & Political Communications

One defensible message, tested before it ships, and the discipline to keep everyone giving it.

Integrity, Compliance & Crisis

Spending compliance, disclosure, attack readiness and crisis response for candidates and offices.
