Public Affairs
Energizing change and advancing interests.

Buy-in. Support. Advancement.

Creating a platform for success often requires positive engagement with government staff and elected officials. Government investments, grant allocations and key policy development represent key energizers for advancing a company’s or organization’s goals.

At MEK, we too often see public policy initiatives fail to reach their objective or outright collapse for one simple reason: nobody adequately reached out to key constituents to frame up the proposed initiative or policy change and achieve buy-in. To reach out means to communicate on multiple strategic levels, matching messages to audiences.

The integration of traditional PR and marketing communications in a public affairs campaign thus strengthens winning policy initiatives or business-building government decisions.

To achieve this level of success, MEK builds and sustains relationships at the state, local and federal levels, as well as maintaining critical pipelines to media professionals and other gatekeepers. Whether client interests lie in legislative, regulatory, procurement or political realms, MEK professionals build bridges between the client, the client’s law firm or lobbyist, and key influencers and constituents.

Working in concert with client resources, MEK deploys a public affairs/PR approach to orchestrate a wide range of strategies and tactics, including forming alliances, mobilizing stakeholders, engaging the media and implementing grassroots activities.

MEK builds teams that can successfully influence public policy development and outcomes. We understand how to communicate issues—whether we're working for a technology park to drive defense-related economic development for a region, establishing a leadership position regarding telecommunications policy for a private corporation or communicating key policy issues to influencers.
