WHAT IS PUBLIC AFFAIRS
‘Public affairs’ describes your relationship with stakeholders. We identify and engage stakeholders in order to explain your ideas, ideals and initiatives on public policy issues, assisting policy makers and legislators in amending or laying down better policy and legislation. We provide knowledge based statistical and factual information and intelligence on which to base your arguments, and lobby on issues which could impact upon your ability to operate successfully.
LEX REX our public affairs programme combines government relations, media communications, issue management, corporate and social responsibility, information dissemination and strategic communications advice. We aim to influence public policy, build and maintain a strong reputation and find common ground with stakeholders. Our clients value the more subtle sophisticated approach to influencing others. Therefore much of our work is done behind the scenes, with persuasion and placement gaining as much for clients as high profile advertising and marketing campaigns.
We specialise in ‘cause’ based campaigns where coalitions of concern are mobilised in support of the issues at stake, a concept we brand Mandate Marketing. For this and other innovate approaches to lobbying speak to us today.
