HOME / About

Strategic support and tactical solutions to meet the need for building and managing consensus.

We are the first independent consulting firm specializing in public affairs, advocacy, and lobbying, founded in Italy in 1996. We currently have three offices: Rome, Milan, and Brussels.

We support our clients in strategic positioning within the decision-making arena and in building relationship systems to influence public decision-makers’ opinions and choices at the local, national, and European levels.

With almost 30 years of history, we have significantly contributed to the professionalization of the lobbying sector through a working method that has always characterized us:

Centrality of content: Every proactive action we take is preceded by data collection, contextual mapping, and content development for lobbying and advocacy activities. Our extensive network of contacts is a tool to disseminate and enhance these contents, not an endpoint.
Strategic approach: Achieving predefined objectives is only possible when supported by a solid strategy that enables each client to engage effectively with an increasingly complex decision-making environment. Our strategic approach and methodologies foster a culture of professionalism based on analysis, reporting, updates, innovation, and flexibility.
Neutrality: The extensive network of institutional relationships we maintain daily determines our political neutrality, allowing us to operate independently of the political orientation of the institutions we engage with.
Transparency: We operate with full respect for the ethical principles of transparency towards our clients, employees, and all stakeholders with whom we interact.
