Our services

We work to understand your commercial objectives and identify relevant regulatory outcomes. Working with your team we make a detailed analysis of the political, regulatory and policy environment considering activist pressure and developing societal expectations. 

We develop and articulate a clear strategy that describes how the organisation will successfully promote its regulatory and policy objectives with relevant stakeholders to shape the desired outcome for the business.

We work to understand the motivations of politicians and what matters to them and their constituents. By raising awareness of issues and preferred solutions in a compelling and relevant way we can build understanding, moving sentiment towards more favourable outcomes. 

Within the context of regulatory and reputation strategy, we build a comprehensive and executable campaign plan that integrates direct engagement, third party stakeholders and corporate communications to maximise impact most efficiently and effectively.

We work with our clients to develop clear, justifiable positions and ensure that consequent advocacy and communications are fully aligned to the overall strategy and objectives. 

We articulate issues in a crisp and compelling way that is relevant to the target audience and maximises cut through of the message.

Stakeholders require contextual mapping and classification according to their role in the formation of  policy, legislation and/or regulation.

We assess the best approach to delivering the message – e.g. channel, who communicates, how, when and in what context. 

Where relevant, we identify senior members of the management team to lead engagement with identified stakeholders. 

We work to prepare them for face to face engagement, ensuring effective articulation of the required messages, with the right cultural context and personal approach to enable dialogue leading to positive outcomes.

Behaviour + communication = reputation 

We work with your company to put in place a strategy for recognition as a responsible company. This involves reviewing internal policies and corporate behaviours to ensure alignment with changing societal expectations. 

Corporate communications and behaviour can move from being defensive to constructive, from “decide announce and defend,” to “listen, decide and deliver.” 

Companies with a robust reputation strategy are generally better placed to drive effective regulatory engagement and promote a sustainable business environment.

Jephson Bond consultants have a wealth of experience in driving more efficient and effective ways of operating – from developing a structure to succeed, aligning measurement behind outcome delivery, developing winning teams, and better ways of working and dealing with geographical/cultural challenges to tracking progress as you make things happen.

We also develop policy and guidelines in conjunction with clients and work with audits to support compliance and the “bedding in” of new ways of working. 

We have particular strengths in managing risks associated with the external environment, having many years of experience in dealing with UK PLC and US Risk Committees.
