Strategic advice
We work with you as a flexible and transparent strategic partner and trusted sounding board, using monitoring, research and strategic advice to develop effective advocacy strategies.
We advise organisations on developing and implementing effective public affairs strategies.
From interest to influence
Van Oort Public Affairs advises organisations seeking to increase their societal impact. Driven by a deep-rooted commitment, we help translate interests into policy influence that delivers meaningful change.
Interests have many sides. Strategy brings them together
The philosophy that guides our advice
We believe in the rule of law, a healthy democracy, the value of collaboration, and transparency across politics, public administration and society. Public affairs professionals play a vital role by connecting practical experience, expertise and societal insights with politics and government.
From issue to impact
Van Oort Public Affairs helps organisations organise their public affairs effectively, from analysis and strategy through to implementation. Together, we map the stakeholder landscape, identify opportunities and risks, and translate insights into an approach tailored to the issue, the timing and the organisation. Where additional capacity is needed, we can also provide an experienced adviser on an interim basis.
Political monitoring
We monitor and interpret policy and political developments using our Metis platform and Metis Echo.
Stakeholder and issue analysis
We analyse stakeholders, issues and the wider landscape to identify opportunities and risks at an early stage, strengthening your strategy, timing and messaging.
Agenda-setting and positioning
We look beyond the initial question to understand the underlying challenge. Drawing on research, expertise and a deep understanding of the public affairs landscape, we develop tailored approaches that position your interests strategically.
Interim public affairs support
We provide experienced public affairs professionals at short notice who integrate seamlessly with your team, ensuring continuity, structure and progress across ongoing public affairs activities.
