Who we are

Public affairs
is our business


We are a Public Affairs agency. We help our clients identify political risks and opportunities, prepare them to participate in the policymaking process and then help them actively engage. 

Politics and policymaking matter. They matter to organisations both large and small, commercial or not for profit. In political processes that are constantly evolving both nationally and at EU level, keeping a close eye on policy threats and opportunities is essential. That is why our goal is to be trusted advisers to our clients, helping them contribute towards better policy outcomes. Getting your voice heard means being creative. Strategies need to be innovative and bespoke. After all, no two entities are the same, so neither are the campaigns.

Established in 1995, we’ve built up over 20 years of lobbying experience. But don’t take our word for it – the proof is in the longevity of our client relationships and their numerous public affairs successes over the years.

Strategy

When actively participating in the policymaking process, organisations must be fully prepared and have a concrete plan to achieve their business objectives. We offer our clients a robust sounding board, in order to develop the most appropriate approach to engage with the relevant policy issues on their agenda.

Intelligence

Political developments and policy changes create both risks and opportunities for an organisation. We ensure our clients are kept up to speed and can plan effectively, whilst providing analyses and recommendations on key developments.

Advocacy

In the policymaking process there are many opportunities for stakeholders to provide input and this is where we help our clients contribute effectively. We undertake a range of activities to ensure clients can meet with key influencers, participate during formal consultation periods, and use specific platforms to raise awareness of their position on any given issue.

Mobilisation

We have extensive experience in bringing together multiple organisations and stakeholders to campaign cohesively across various communication channels. This includes managing industry trade associations across different sectors, as well as single-issue alliances on specific campaigns.

The PI team are serious in the work they do; put simply, they know their stuff and are not afraid to give their honest professional opinions (even when that does not match your own). While undoubtedly the PI team are high specialised in digital policy, their diverse backgrounds adds an extra insight into the work they bring; as does their willingness to go that extra mile for their clients. However, most striking about working with Political Intelligence is their attitude; there is no request too demanding and their service always comes with a smile, which has led to our continued collaboration for over a decade.
