Palme Public
We work with organisations that have a case worth making: companies, industry bodies, community coalitions and causes. Some need a government decision changed. Some need the public to see them as they are. The work is the same. Find the people who share your interest, give them a voice and make it count. We start with one question: what has to change, and who has to change it?
Anyone facing a tax, a rule or a decision they need changed. Government departments that need the public to understand and accept a policy.
We work out the message and test it. We run the campaign in the media, online and in the community. We sign up supporters and put them in touch with their MPs.
Your issue becomes a public issue. Ministers get asked about it. The Government responds.
Companies, industries and groups the public has the wrong idea about, or no idea about.
We research what people think of you and why. We find the message and the voices that can change it. We take it to the media, online and into the community.
The public sees you differently. Customers, members and governments follow.
Anyone with a good case and not enough voices behind it.
We find the people and organisations who share your interest and get them behind one ask. We set up the campaign: the name, the spokespeople, the supporters and the funding.
You speak to government with numbers behind you. You also own a campaign that lasts beyond one issue.
Boards and executives who need a decision from government.
We find out who makes the decision and who they listen to. We write the briefs, get the meetings and prepare your people. We build support in the community first, so the meeting is not the first time they hear about it.
You are in the right room, with the right ask, and the public behind you.
Anyone under pressure from the media, the public or government.
We give senior advice from the first call. We handle the media, set the message and brief the people who matter.
The problem is contained. Your name and your standing with government are protected.
Organisations bidding for a licence, a tender or a contract. Companies in a contested deal where public or political opinion will affect the result.
We build the support around the process: political, media and public. Your legal, financial and proxy advisers run the process and the numbers.
Decision-makers see a bid with public and political backing behind it.
We have worked for clients across:
How we work
We start with research and data: polling, message testing and audience analysis. We identify the insights that matter with the benefit of fifteen years in campaigns and government.
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.
We tell you whether it can be won. If the public will not back your case, we say so before you spend a dollar.
Much of our work is sensitive. Discretion is standard, from the first call.
