Why Palme Public
We lead with the public fight.
Governments move when voters care. We find the people affected, give them a voice and make the issue public first. When you ask, there is a reason to say yes.
We know the room.
We have worked in ministers' offices, party headquarters and newsrooms. We know how decisions get made.
We know how to change what government decides.
Public pressure, a clear ask and a fix that works. That is what changes a government's mind.
How we work
Evidence first.
We start with research and data. We identify the insights that matter with the benefit of fifteen years in campaigns and government.
The best people for the job.
Most agencies have in-house pollsters, creatives and media buyers, and every brief goes to them. We have none. We bring in the best people for your problem and change them as the problem changes. You pay for the work, not the overhead.
Frank advice.
We tell you whether it can be won. If the public will not back your case, we say so before you spend a dollar.
In confidence.
Much of our work is sensitive. Discretion is standard, from the first call.
