Public Affairs

Your voice needs to be heard by the people with real power.

Mandate’s award-winning public affairs consultants know how to make winning arguments at the heart of government. Working in Westminster, Whitehall, all of the UK’s devolved nations and regions, Brussels and Washington DC, we are professional lobbyists and proud of it.

Our public affairs team are experts in:

  • Building profile and reputation with political audiences
  • Changing regulation
  • Creating, amending and securing legislation
  • Crafting winning public sector tenders
  • Piloting high profile national political campaigns
  • Preparing evidence and appearances for inquiries and committees
  • Providing analysis on the latest political developments and intelligence

By being plugged in to the corridors of power in the centres that matter, we tell you what’s really happening, revealing so much more than appears on the surface.

We make sense of complex briefs with smartness, intelligence and creative flair. We combine this with our communications expertise to make a political splash when needed, or quietly convince when subtlety is required.

Our public affairs record includes wins worth millions of pounds to our clients. We pride ourselves on stopping damaging political decisions – and seeing better policies created in their place.

As lobbyists we are committed to the highest ethical standards. That's why AS Biss adopted right from the start an industry-leading code of conduct, and we are leading members of the Association of Professional Political Consultants (APPC).

Talk to Mandate about making politics a basis of your business success and never a barrier to it.
