We recommend the right mechanisms to reach your target audiences. Sometimes that’s the broadsheet press and national broadcast news. Sometimes you need to communicate online. On occasion, a speech at a conference will fit the bill, and now and then a simple phone call or meeting is appropriate. Most often, a combination of techniques is required. Linstock advises on the right communications mix and then delivers whichever elements of the programme you require.

Our services:

• Media relations: we help you make your case in the press, broadcast and online media by drafting news releases and articles, introducing you to journalists, acting as your press office and helping you react swiftly to the news agenda. We offer crisis management services to protect your reputation when things go wrong.
  Example: Championing the retail investor: making the case for the Interactive Investor user base.
• Speech writing and presentations: we find you public platforms on which to make your case to key decision makers. We can draft your speech, prepare your presentation and provide presentation training if required.
  Example: Seeing in the dark: hedge funds in Australia for Aurum Funds.
• Copywriting and document production: we research, draft, edit and manage the design and print of leaflets, newsletters, policy documents and annual reports.
  Example: Securing prosperity and conserving the environment: a message to business from the East of England Development Agency.
• Website development and online communications: we research, draft and manage the design and production of websites. We advise on the best way to maximise web traffic and use email and social networking sites.
  Example: Building culture into planning: a cultural and sporting toolkit for planners.
• Consultation responses: we help you communicate with central and local government by making compelling responses to consultations and finding opportunities to promote these in the media where appropriate.
  Example: Regional Cities East: Responding to the Sub National Review of Local Government. Click here for case study
• Briefings and contact building: we advise on handling relationships with regulators, civil servants and politicians by helping to frame your arguments, build alliances and direct your views to the right people at the right time.
  Example: The Retail Distribution Review: helping financial advisers shape the future of their industry.
• Public consultation: We advise on and carry out community consultation programmes so that your organisation can better understand the views of local people.
  Example: A new look for Norwich: consultation for the Greater Norwich Development Partnership. Click here for case study
• Event management: from private dinners to small conferences, we can help you gather together decision makers for discussion and debate, or celebrate an important milestone with a drinks party.
