We can help you build relationships with all the stakeholders involved. Whether it’s those making the decisions (the MPs, planners, government departments and councillors) or those who might be affected (pressure groups, residents, community groups and customers). We use a mix of tried and tested methods tailored to your circumstances, including public events, political briefings, social media and bespoke websites.

We can also help you to mobilise the silent majority – the people who may often support your plans but might be reluctant to speak out in public. Identifying this group, listening to them and giving them opportunities to contribute can mean the difference between success or failure for a major project. This approach can also support decision makers to feel comfortable that they have made the right choice.

Consultation exercises require an ability to operate effectively at many different levels – and our team has the know how and experience to do this. They are as comfortable out on the street or in a community centre as they are in the board room or a council chamber. Consultation has to happen in the places where the people who matter go – whether it’s market day or a pie and peas supper.

We pride ourselves on doing the simple things well: whether it’s an engaging local exhibition, a persuasive leaflet, eye-catching infographic, a compelling video or an imaginative social media campaign.
