Issues Management

Engaging with government and key influencers is no longer the concern of only a few blue-chip companies. Governments at international, federal, state and local levels are ushering in a new era of increased regulation. Our issues management programs build your influence and allow for effective engagement with government and wider stakeholders.

The financial meltdown, collapsing banks, high-profile fraud and concerns about CEO pay are all driving a public appetite for increased government regulation of business. At the same time, technology, particularly social media, has the power to radicalize and mobilize large numbers of citizens on single issues. Influence groups are using this to build support and flex their muscles. Their aim is to give policymakers little room to maneuver in the face of mass public pressure.

Keymer develops comprehensive strategies that enable you to effectively manage the issues that shape your social, political, and regulatory environment. We design and deploy campaigns that use lobbying, media outreach, and digital communications to neutralize those who oppose you and bring your influence to bear on your stakeholders. We recruit third parties to speak up on your behalf, build coalitions of those who share your challenges, and mobilize your grassroots support.

We represent clients at local, state, federal and international levels.

Keymer combines deep thinking and imaginative execution with the most attentive customer service I've ever seen.
