Political Intelligence, a European public affairs consultancy, has announced an exclusive partnership with the global integrated PR and communications agency Hotwire. The collaboration is intended to provide Political Intelligence with a global team of technology PR professionals to offer their clients.
To mark this partnership, Political Intelligence and Hotwire are sponsoring TechCentral, the only dedicated technology space at all three main party political conferences. TechCentral will bring together industry experts, delegates and political figures at the conferences in Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow, serving as the hub for technology thinking and policy debate in the last conferences before next year’s general election.
Nicholas Lansman, Group Managing Director, Political Intelligence, said, “I am delighted to be working together with Hotwire in this truly integrated approach, where we will be able to offer a level of strategic advice and tactical expertise that will ensure our clients meet, not only the challenges that policy and regulation can bring, but also those relating to the wider communications landscape.
I believe this partnership will be a really positive step forward with fresh ideas and new initiatives that can help our respective clients. I am delighted that we are also supporting TechCentral, which recognises the importance of the sector to wider public policy and future economic growth.”
Alex Maclaverty, Group MD, UK, Hotwire said, “Partnering with Political Intelligence gives us a real springboard into the public affairs space. This year, technology is finally higher on all parties’ agendas. So whether you are into politics or not, it’s important to keep up-to-date with what will be discussed. As sponsors of TechCentral we will be right there, looking at the key announcements which matter most to the tech sector and using this insight to advise our clients on how it will affect them and what action to take.”
Political Intelligence and Hotwire will be hosting a summary breakfast briefing on Wednesday 15 October for those who are unable to attend conference.
