Most activist campaigns don’t result in law enforcement being called in. But they still involve risk or threats to you, your reputation, your organization and your investors. And that’s where our experience comes in. From international events disrupting a project or the ability to function in a community, to shareholder activism, contaminated sites or emergency events being latched onto by professional activists, we’ve dealt with it.
Over the past three decades, we’ve provided strategic advice and front-line support to businesses, industry associations, non-profits, government agencies and elected officials. We’ve been on the front-lines, whether it’s been on the streets monitoring protests, in high emotion public meetings, working with teams to stage workers or dealing with the media. We've also helped support non-profit and advocacy groups and campaigns, so we understand the full picture of how to fight for a cause. We can see where issues, public policy or business developments are going, and then work quickly to put action plans in place for you to be able to respond. Contaminated sites, damaging legislative action, activist attacks, executive testimony before the House of Commons or Congress, major industrial projects, international events, litigation, mergers and acquisition support – these are just some of the highlights of work we've done.
Our focus is to let you focus on the things you do best: build meaningful partnerships, grow your business and let your organization succeed. So let us connect the dots in their playbook, assess the potential risks for you, come up with plans to beat them and get you and your team ready to respond.
Let us be an advocate with you. And for you.
Our team will meet with you to develop a clear understanding of your organization, and the range of reputation and risk threats you may face. Some potential activist campaigns may be public; others may not have emerged yet. We understand how their playbook works. So after a comprehensive discussion we'll utilize tools and technologies to help get the full activist threat for you.
This won't be a cut-and-paste exercise. Your situation is unique; your needs are too. After completing a proper assessment, you'll receive a detailed set of recommendations on how to mitigate activist campaigns and your key exposures, and how to monitor the ones that are lower risk.
Then we hand you a playbook of your own so that you know what it will take to win.
Because we've seen the activist playbook in action, your campaign will be made just for you and your organization. It will include recommendations and tools that can be employed to counter the challenge and the strategies and tactics you need to win.
And we'll be right there with you - every step of the way.
Very few attacks on an organization or your reputation are wrapped up quickly. So as we implement your playbook and the tactics designed to help you win, we'll be monitoring its effectiveness at each phase. And we'll be making recommendations to adjust in real-time.
We're an active partner with you - a defined, successful outcome to counter activist campaigns against you is what we are all working towards together.
While we live in a world where people seem to have short memories, the record of advocacy groups campaigning against you or your organization lives on. Online. In the minds of opinion leaders. With Indigenous rights holders and key stakeholders. So a long-term reputation monitoring program will be put into action.
Because your reputation is important, and protecting or enhancing it will take work over time.
