Strategic advice

Whether you're devising or implementing an EU advocacy strategy or lobbying campaign, planning how to engage with your stakeholders, or looking into specific policy issues to drive or contribute to the EU debate, we offer critical assessment and strategic advice at the level that best suits your needs.

Be it on a project-by-project basis or as ongoing support, we help with all communication activities that your organisation needs to carry out in the context of its reputation management and regulatory work. 

" Engaging with your stakeholders effectively requires a fair understanding of who they are, what they care about, and which of them are both able to affect your agenda and likely to do SO. "

EU advocacy strategies

EU advocacy strategies include classical preparatory tools (stakeholder mapping, policy and regulatory outlook, messaging, etc) and engagement tools (policy papers and media contributions, web content, video, events etc). They should also integrate tactics that are less classical and provide for differentiation.

> We help conceive and complement your communications, advocacy and lobbying strategies by looking at the best possible options to raise your profile with your targeted EU audiences.  

Stakeholders engagement

Engaging with your stakeholders effectively requires a fair understanding of who they are, what they care about, and which of them are both able to affect your agenda and likely to do SO.

> We help you gain that understanding and accordingly prioritise and tailor your stakeholders engagement efforts, taking into account their respective attitude and influence towards your positions and initiatives.

Issue analysis and copy-writing

Formulating policy or regulatory positions is critical to your EU advocacy strategy. Not only do your text need to be factually correct and accurately reflect your perspective about issues at hand, they also need to be clear and concise. They should take stock of big picture political trends, be tailored to your different audiences, and adapted to the different communication vehicles and channels you use to convey your messages.

> We help you write position papers, press releases and editorials, video scripts, keynote speeches and presentations, web content and more.
