With the connections of approximately 200 expert strategic communications consultants located in key markets around the world, we combine global reach with local knowledge to help client management teams and Boards of Directors seize opportunities, manage crises, navigate market disruptions, articulate their brand, stake a competitive position, and preserve their permission to operate. Drawing upon our unrivaled depth of industry expertise and interdisciplinary experience and using our broad network of relationships with key influencers, we help clients clarify, persuade and ensure that the right message reaches the right audience at the right time.
Further, as part of Savanna Capital, we are able to complement our strategic communications services by offering clients access to market-leading management consulting and advice to address critical business situations, including investigations, litigation, regulatory disputes and restructuring.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS SUPPORT OF BUSINESS STRATEGIES

Corporate business strategies such as market entry, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), tax inversions, and government-regulated transactions and activities require management of complex legal, political, business and cross-border transaction challenges. Savanna Capital specialists, including qualified lawyers, former regulators and economists, work jointly with our Financial Communications team to help clients manage the complex legal, political and business implications of cross-border transactions. By combining our public affairs, global risk and economic expertise, we help corporate clients pursue new opportunities and minimize risks in international markets. Also, we advise governments on how to attract investors by improving their regulatory and legal frameworks, as well as their communications platforms.
Our services include:
   •   Transaction advisory, including M&A, antitrust, tax and communications counsel
   •    Political analysis, including identifying regulatory issues and opportunities for market openings
   •   International trade dynamics and complaints
   •   Public opinion research
   •   Government engagement: advocating for political improvements or regulatory approval
   •   Non-governmental organization stakeholder engagement: relationship and influence mapping of business, societal and political elites to build support for market entry
   •   Political diplomacy and mediation strategies, including protecting operations and investments
