Geopolitical Consultancy
Cross-border issue communications
Many companies already established in their home markets face issues when breaking into new unfamiliar markets abroad. On top of that, difficult to predict geopolitical crises often catch you by surprise and threaten the stability which you have worked so hard to establish. Our geopolitical experts make sure that your expansion into foreign markets is smooth and straightforward, so that you can focus on the issues that really matter. In times of uncertainty, our clients rest assured that their crisis communications are taken care of so that they can conduct business as usual and focus their limited time on their priorities.
Political risk and opportunity assessments
Awareness of the potential risks that your organisation may face when establishing a presence in new markets or further developing existing operations in already familiar locales, should be an integral part of everyone’s preparatory due diligence. Our geographical focused and language proficient geopolitical analysts can provide your organisation with a comprehensive and multifaceted understanding of the potential risks as well as opportunities based on thorough and sophisticated global risk analysis. This is conducted while bearing in mind the unique defining factors of your entity and with your primary strategic goals in mind. Employing adequate strategic foresight can help both protect you from unnecessary risks and strategically allocate finite human and financial resources.
Advanced influencer analytics and influencer mapping
Understanding what the forces shaping the conversation in your line of work are as well as how these function, are instrumental tools for success in today’s global environment. Past models of influence have been upended, with today’s world consisting of multi-level networks of thought leaders, influencers and elected decision makers often working in tandem to advance decision making processes. Our advanced analytics mapping projects, executed with the help of our unique methodology and proprietary cutting-edge software, can help you visualise and better understand who should be highest on your radar based on quantitative and qualitative measurements of influence.
Reputation management
In this day and age, social media and round the clock news coverage prevent any prominent figure - whether it be a politician or businessperson - from maintaining a low profile online. Sometimes, being in the public eye can be damaging to one’s reputation, or destructive to one’s legacy. Whether you are a politician reaching the end of your term in office or a business leader seeking to maintain a professional image, our reputation management team ensures that your image is developed and maintained in the light in which you would like to be seen. Our social media analytics and public relations team are experts at shaping our client’s portrayal in conventional and social media sources and taking charge of the narrative so that your story is the one most prominently known and told.
Research supporting lobbying and direct advocacy
Having your voice heard in the right circles is essential to any business looking to make a real impact or any government looking to advocate for the benefits of their proposed policy. Making that voice heard, however, is a significant challenge. Our unique geopolitical expertise and networks cultivated in Cambridge and extending far beyond the confines of the United Kingdom, enables us to facilitate connections with those who matter and advocate for the issues that will help you succeed.
Economic analysis and political research
At F&R Strategy Group, we believe that knowing your constituents and the challenges they face is key to gaining their lasting support. In particular, understanding the economic issues of a given country is essential to garnering public support as well as conducting business. This is even more true in the dynamic environment that is emerging market countries. We design and conduct focus groups and polls on the ground in order to better understand opinions and diverse viewpoints, in addition to economic analyses using advanced data metrics. The findings are then used to determine potential weak points and build strategic campaigns that focus on supporting our research’s central findings
