Public sector

It is a misconception that professional public affairs & lobbying support is only available to businesses. Public Matters shows that this is not the case. Since our founding we have advised a wide range of organizations, including ministries, municipalities, provinces, independent administrative bodies (ZBOs), implementing organizations, (digital) regulators, state participations, educational institutions, development companies and public-private partnerships.

These often involve specific public affairs challenges, in which the political-social force field plays an important role both internally and externally. With our professional outside view, we contribute to the best possible organization of the internal organization and the development and implementation of the most effective strategy. You have also come to the right place for the internal and external strategic communication that often plays an important role in achieving objectives. In all of this support, our consultants draw on their extensive experience to best serve our clients.

Examples of how Public Matters supports clients in the public sector:

  • Training and preparing participants in both private preliminary interviews and public hearings of a parliamentary inquiry.
  • Support in realizing and communicating about various grants and funds.
  • Advise on organizational structure to maximize effectiveness of your public affairs activities.
  • Formulation of strategy and key messages for the policy/legislative process, as well as clarification of our clients’ roles, supported by effective media communication if necessary.
  • Develop stakeholder mapping – including relevant positions and public affairs actions.
  • Advise on media strategy and collaboration with like-minded stakeholders.
  • Provide public affairs training to enhance clients’ knowledge and skills as well as the possibility of interim in-house support.

Please feel free to contact one of our consultants to discuss the possibilities for your organization. We are happy to provide you with advice to ensure that your organization’s voice is heard in The Hague and/or Brussels.
