Get your cause seen, heard and supported regardless of who’s in government.
Gaining public government support for a cause, project, or decision is not easy. It requires careful strategic planning, targeted and persuasive communication, and network building to have a chance to succeed.
For businesses that don’t have internal expertise and existing networks, it can be incredibly hard just to get a foot in the door.
Banksia empowers organisations with a positive social impact agenda to successfully achieve government action, backing, or buy-in by leveraging our vast experience in strategic communications and campaigning to help deliver the right message to the people that matter.

Assess current landscape
We’ll assess the broader political sentiment and landscape, as well as the views and priorities of the individual representatives you’d like to engage.
Tailor an approach

Engage our network
We’ll engage our extensive network of government representatives and advisors across all sides of politics to get you in front of the right people.
Train your team
We’ll coach your spokesperson to deliver the pitch persuasively and confidently, as well as attend the meeting for support.
Post-meeting support
We’ll continue to be available to complete all necessary follow-up to ensure the outcome that we set at the start.
We’ll provide more than just an introduction. We’ll help you plan, prepare, deliver and drive home your message to the people that matter.
