Ensuring your brand stands for something
In the 21st Century, brands have to live beyond the product or service. Consumers are looking for more - a reason to believe and feel an association. For many companies and agencies, it's badged as 'Corporate Social Responsibility'. For us, that phrase is obsolete. It may be a good place to start but successful campaigns and brands are built on the back of the client's belief they are doing the right thing. we work with clients to make sure that belief is strongly felt both inside the organisation, stakeholders and in the market.

Public affairs - knowing who to meet and when
Public affairs is, thankfully, now a broad term that covers key opinion leaders, stakeholders, civil servants and pretty much anyone who might be a key asset to your organisation. At afh, we look beyond what is in front of you to see where the influences are and how you might just be able to help each other. The days of 'what can you do for me' are long gone. Our work focuses on developing networks and partners, not for a quick buck but for the long-term.

Public relations not media relations
Public relations is not just writing a press release and pressing send. Sure that may get results but this is about public relations, not media relations. We want to reach your core audience, not just the media. The question is, what is the right way for your organisation? The media, direct to consumer, social media, maybe a stunt or two - some will work, some won't, but importantly, we will work with you to understand you, your organisation and the target audience to make sure the approach is the right one.
