    Goals / Remit

    Aspect is a strategic consultancy first and foremost. We help our clients relate their business challenges to the world around them, identify the key factors and priority areas for action, and devise strategic approaches that
    improve reputation. We enable our clients to successfully navigate the increasingly complex and challenging communications environment by identifying the most appropriate approaches, tools and tactics to deliver their programme, offline and online, adopting a classic ‘channel neutral’ approach.

    While embracing the potential of new communication channels, we believe that intelligent and compelling content is the foundation for successful corporate communications. We translate business strategy into actionable communications campaigns - which often means not just working with client headquarters but also with business units to deliver. We build and manage corporate reputations, protecting them, through the identification and management of issues before they become a crisis.

    Our areas of expertise include:
    •Communications strategy development
    •Messaging and positioning
    •Issues and crisis preparedness and management
    •Stakeholder relations
    •Optimising communication structures

    In a public affairs arena that is saturated with trade associations and NGOs, the impact of traditional communications is limited. Aspect brings a new way of thinking to public affairs by combining its know-how of the Brussels political scene with an approach based on strategic corporate communications.

    Today’s political climate is extremely complex and competitive, and heavily influenced by a range of different (and often competing) interests. Getting yourself heard and consistently understood is no simple task.

    With extensive experience of European public affairs, lobbying and issues management, and an excellent understanding of international media, Aspect has the expertise to provide support that makes a difference.
    We approach political communications as it should be done, recognising the range of influences that coalesce to form opinions among decision-makers. We recognise the equal importance of formal and informal channels and influencers, news media and NGOs, commentators and academics as well as elected politicians or officials or civil servants. All contribute to the creation of ideas and attitudes, and all have their place in the strategy.

    Our areas of expertise include:
    • Governmental communications
    • Coalition building and campaigning
    • Brussels press corps media relations

  • Meetings
