Civic Engagement

When your business approaches a community to offer services or resources, “What benefit does the community gain from engaging with us?” must be the first question you are prepared to answer.

  • KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER: These are public organizations that regularly publish relevant policy documents, including economic, social and cultural goals and priorities, that you must be aware of before opening discussions.

  • BUILD TRUST: Take the time to build relationships with community stakeholders

  • BE IN IT FOR THE LONG TERM: Transformational engagement with communities is possible only through long-term commitment, follow-through and co-creation with community stakeholders.

Our years of experience co-creating with a diverse community, supported by a keen understanding of how government generally operates, will help you to develop an effective strategy for community trust-building and engagement.
