Strategies

The strategic guidelines of communication, i.e., the communication strategy, are always the starting point for the long-term renewal of communication. We define the core message (service promise), the main stakeholders (audiences), the channels inherent to them (the forums in which you should influence), and the means to achieve your strategic goal.

When you want to make an impact with communication, you must first know who you need to make an impact on. The flood of messages is huge and instead of shouting into the wind, you must start to define the distinctive content of the core message as well as your own way of communicating influentially.

How well do you identify the audiences that represent the stakeholders that are crucial to your business? Do you also know those who, if they wish, can even prevent your goal from being achieved? We help you see the meaning and power relations of different audiences.

We identify the channels where your audience is influential and ensure that your organization is involved in the dialogue. After that, we will build the right tools to ensure that you move forward with the strategy. A communication plan is your practical tool to help you move forward.

Do you need support in your strategy’s communication? When a strategy does not address staff or reach stakeholders and does not have the desired influence, it is important to assess the changed operational environment, relevant audiences and their motivations to act or be heard. We can help you with both expressing the strategy and with its communication.

The rapidly changing operational environment requires a regular review of the strategy: do we talk to the right stakeholders, how do they interpret our message and do we achieve the desired outcome? A successful strategy is always communicative. We help you see the importance of your organization through the eyes of stakeholders. We will also figure out your greatest value to these groups and clarify how to make it communicatively inspiring. 

We help you communicate strategically to get your staff, clients and other important stakeholders engaged. We will walk alongside you and make sure you do the right things at the right time. The communication KPIs will help us with this.

Public affairs is about bringing your views to the attention of those who influence the development of matters important to you. It is part of democratic decision-making and the public dialogue: decision-makers have the right and obligation to obtain information on the views of the various stakeholders before final guidelines are drawn up. The general public is also interested in common issues. If your organization has something to offer to raise awareness, develop, or reform legislation in your field, you should highlight your expertise.

The success of public affairs is determined by how current and well-known the topic is and how it is framed in the form desired by decision-makers. We use many channels and networks for public affairs. Our cooperation with you is always guided by transparency and a comprehensive understanding of decision-makers’ expectations for communication.

Successful public affairs does not necessarily mean abundant media visibility. Rather, some topics require a direct discussion with decision-makers, although sometimes presenting the issue to a wider audience can help achieve the goal. 

Public affairs always starts with clarifying the goal: what and why we want to achieve and over what time span. We then proceed to identify decision-makers and other stakeholders that are relevant to decision-making, and to understand the motives and goals of the groups. Only then does the actual implementation of influencing begin.
