Politicians can become both allies and enemies of an organisation. They have easy access to the media and instant credibility for their views. A politician ignored is a crisis waiting to happen.

At Partner PR we can dissuade a politician from attacking your organisation. We know how to ensure politicians understand your position. We can ensure your voice is heard where it matters - whether by officials or elected members. We know how to get the right questions asked and how to encourage the journalists who cover the political beat to take up your campaign.

We can help you prepare for meetings with politicians and even for an appearance before a hostile Parliamentary committee.

• For a professional services company, we persuaded a politician to withdraw an attack on its performance.
• For a business services company, we assisted it develop an appropriate response to a National Audit Office report and to prepare for an appearance before the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee.
• For a transport company, we persuaded politicians to endorse its product in a public report.
