Public Affairs

Elevating ideas to build a better future.

The communications landscape is increasingly complex, and the world of policy and politics is highly polarised. To have impact with policy makers and their influencers, you need a partner with vision, expertise, and creativity. You need FINN Partners.

From countries to corporations, associations to agencies, and think tanks to thought leaders, the FINN public affairs team helps clients navigate the intersection of government, influencers, and policymakers, to promote ideas that will shape the future.

Our experts will work seamlessly with your organisation to meet your unique needs — from critical issues in your sector, to national and global conversations — always with an eye on the goal of creating positive impact.

  • Integrated Public Affairs & Communications Strategies

    We design and execute public affairs strategies to help you navigate the policy and political landscape to maximise impact, promote opportunities, and minimise risk. We work in an integrated way with our corporate communications and crisis team, digital team, and intelligence and research team. This means that we can offer a fully integrated service, so our clients don’t need to instruct multiple agencies, saving time and money, and ensuring a more coordinated approach.

  • Advocacy & Coalition Building

    We engage with policymakers and lawmakers to shape the decision-making process, sharing insight, perspectives, and data to advance your objectives. We also engage third-party advocacy partners to amplify policy priorities and impact.

  • Research and Political Intelligence

    We provide in-depth research and intelligence in support of your advocacy goals. We offer policy and regulatory monitoring, political intelligence, as well as content creation to distil complex research and data into easy-to-understand arguments targeted at different audiences. Our research and intelligence team offers a holistic approach with comprehensive services to provide you with actionable intelligence and strategic recommendations. This empowers you to make data-driven decisions, craft persuasive narratives, identify key stakeholders, and develop strategic plans to effectively influence public policy and achieve your advocacy objectives.

  • Stakeholder Engagement

    Creating a map of political stakeholders is central to developing the relationships that yield benefits throughout the policymaking process. We work with our clients to identify and build a network of allies to form coalitions that underpin your campaigns’ objectives.

  • Policy Development and Thought Leadership

    We develop policy papers, consultation responses, parliamentary inquiries, parliamentary questions and debates to enhance business priorities. Our specialists have excellent knowledge of parliamentary procedures including taking a Bill through Parliament. We can also help your organisation create leadership positions on issues that drive debate, build reputation, and secure competitive advantage.

  • Issues and Crisis Management

    In a rapidly changing landscape, preparation is key. We work with you to identify in advance issues that can result in reputation and business damage and create a powerful strategy to respond to the challenges in an effective way.

  • Select Committee Training

    Our team will guide you through the crucial phases of appearing before select committees and public inquiries preparing to give oral evidence to deliver messages with impact. We can also provide media training and media relations around your appearance to maximise impact.

  • Events Management

    Impactful events are central to public affairs strategies as they help raise awareness and capture stakeholders’ attention. Our team has experience delivering parliamentary events and ministerial visits, round tables, and media events.
