Public Affairs
Information and intelligence are key to achieving business objectives; whether it’s the successful management of a rural business, promoting development or implementing change. But where to look and how to interpret what you find can be challenging, especially in today’s complex and evolving political landscape. KOR has the expertise and the contacts to:
Monitor political and societal changes.
Identify stakeholders and those with power and influence and help you build relationships.
Project to policymakers and administrators the work that you do in a positive light
Monitoring
You need to concentrate on running your organisation. We understand that means you may not have the time or resources to stay up to speed on all the issues that might have an impact on your business and your sector more widely.
We have the skills and expertise to monitor the kinds of changes that might affect you, whether as a landed estate, rural business or developer. That includes monitoring media coverage of your sector, keeping abreast of policy changes and gathering intelligence from a range of sources to help keep you and your organisation ahead of the game.
Relationships
Whether for a single project or over the longer term to develop your organisation’s reputation, we can provide stakeholder mapping to identify precisely who you need to engage with. That includes advising on how to manage relationships with local and national government, support you with lobbying and campaigning, and devise thoughtful and impactful strategies to assist in achieving your business objectives.
Engagement and communication with the right individuals and organisations at the right time in an informed and intelligent way has never been more important. Positive relationships with those that matter, including policymakers and administrators at every level can be extremely valuable. We can help give you access to political think tanks, House of Commons’ Select Committee members and All-Party Parliamentary Groups.
Intelligence and influence
Promoting the positive and impactful work that you do gets you noticed. KOR can help to put you and your organisation in front of people in positions of power and influence. We can draw up case studies to help inform policymakers, write thought leaders on your behalf to promote beneficial change and provide you with the opportunities to speak before influential audiences
In today’s highly connected digital world, scrutiny can be intense and relentless, and reputations unfairly tainted. Our Public Affairs team can arm you with the intelligence you need, support you with your strategy and messaging and guide you towards your goals.
