IPB Consult
IPB's award winning Consult team has helped
reinvent the way organisations engage with communities.
We've consulted with more than a million people across the UK, working with clients in the public and private sector on a wide range of projects and developments, from changes to council housing to supermarket planning applications and wind farm developments.
Our team are as comfortable in the board room as they are on the streets - helping to brief Council Leaders and Chief Executives one minute, and engaging with local people at community events the next.
The Government's Localism Bill means that now, more than ever before, it is vital to demonstrate public support for planning applications and service provision.
Our methodology is based on mobilising the silent majority, who are usually supportive, to reassure decision makers that they are making a sensible choice.
We create bespoke strategies for individual campaigns that cover areas including:
- media relations
- crisis and issue management
- political lobbying
- candid strategic advice
- social media campaigns
- public events
- focus groups
- telephone tracking polls
- staff training
- roadshows
- newsletters
- print and design
- DVD production
For projects requiring planning consent, our work starts at the crucial pre-application stage, and runs all the way through to a final decision.
