Government Relations and Public Affairs

Building long-term relationships with decision-makers in your sector, especially with the politicians charged with shaping the legislative and economic agenda on which commercial success depends, has never been more vital.

Our team of experts, drawn from across the political spectrum and with dedicated teams in London, Brussels and across the globe, is ideally placed to support clients who seek genuine political intelligence and strategic guidance. We help you understand what makes politics and politicians tick, as well as how best to nurture relationships which adds value to your business – and pinpoint the risks and opportunities which lie ahead.

We have decades of cumulative experience in lobbying and public affairs, and a track record of conducting successful government relations campaigns across sectors and territories for some of the world’s biggest brands. We understand how to communicate effectively with political stakeholders – and offer political consultancy that really makes the difference.

The role of social media as a channel for engaging policy-makers has been on the agenda of our industry for a long time. To enhance our capabilities in this area, Grayling, in partnership with social intelligence provider Linkfluence, has launched ‘GPol’. GPol is Grayling’s proprietary political social media monitoring and digital advocacy service and combines pan-European social listening capabilities with the local market knowledge of our unrivalled network of Public Affairs consultants across almost 20 countries.

GPol is fully flexible in terms of the range of policy-makers and other stakeholders it can cover. The specificities can be fully tailored to your interests and can cover as many European countries as you need – the European Parliament included.
