Public Affairs
DHR Communications recognises the importance of communicating with key influencers to secure policy and attitudinal changes, and to meet funding targets. In our experience, all clients, ranging from community to national organisations – benefit from some advocacy and lobbying activities.
In our public affairs service delivery, we benefit from the experience of our Directors and Company Chairperson, all of whom have first-hand knowledge of political and policymaking structures.
As a company, we have a strong background in the community and voluntary sector, and we can help to professionalise the management and structure of organisations in that sector. This allows them to benefit fully from dealings with politicians and public bodies.
Our public affairs outputs include:
- Strategic advice in campaign development and delivery.
- Packaging and presenting messages to key influencers.
- Assisting in building cross-party relationships.
- Monitoring the policymaking landscape for potential lobbying opportunities.
DHR Communications has delivered successful advocacy and lobbying campaigns at local government, national and European levels.
To build up their own capacity in this regard, clients can avail of our advocacy and lobbying training, which is backed by a follow-up mentoring programme.
