Advisory

Strategy and access

Confidential counsel for the people who make the decisions, and for those who need those decisions to go their way. We are in the room, or we get you into it.

What it is

Counsel when the stakes are highest and the room is closed.

Advisory is the practice clients call first. When a campaign is forming, a coalition is fracturing, a deal is stalling, or a story is turning, they need judgement from someone who knows the terrain and can act without being seen. That is what we do.

01

Campaign strategy

Positioning, message, coalition-building and ground operations for presidential, parliamentary and local races, from candidate selection to the transition that follows the count.

02

Government relations and public affairs

For companies, development partners and international organisations entering or operating in Somaliland who need doors opened and interests represented.

03

Stakeholder mapping and engagement

A working map of who must be consulted, in what order, and by whom, across clans, elders, parties, ministries, business and civil society.

04

Crisis and reputation counsel

When a decision, a dispute or a story threatens a client's standing, quiet, fast advice on what to say, what to hold, and whom to call.

05

International engagement

Preparing delegations, briefing foreign partners and supporting the recognition agenda in the capitals that matter.

How we work

Embedded, discreet, accountable.

1

Listen

We start by understanding the decision you actually face, not the one on paper. First conversation is always confidential.

2

Position

We build the strategy: the map of actors, the message, the sequence, and the rooms that need to be entered.

3

Move

We work alongside you through the decision, adjusting as the ground shifts, and we are judged on the outcome.
