Public Sector

Governments and state-owned enterprises, multilateral organizations and NGOs, and associations are operating at the dynamic intersection of legislation and regulation, funding, and public opinion. It’s a place where demands grow but resources do not. Our teams help organizations communicate more strategically, more creatively, and more efficiently than ever, working within countries to promote healthy behaviors and explain change. We specialize in public education programs and in building positive country reputation to advance public diplomacy, trade and investment, export promotion, tourism, and public health. In these high-profile, highly regulated and highly scrutinized environments, we create opportunities for clients to fulfill their public missions and deliver measurable return on public funds.

What We Do

Domestic Advocacy

When governments need to engage citizens and form partnerships, FleishmanHillard helps create an essential “force multiplier,” moving the right organizations from distribution channel to advocate. We offer social marketing campaigns – built on research and science – that produce measurable behavior change, as well as programs across the government sector that require citizen engagement, from healthcare changes to infrastructure investment.

Government-to-Government

Traditional government-to-government efforts include creating new engagements with the arts, education, science, faith groups, think tanks and civil society. And embassies can hone their “21st century statecraft” with a practical mix of social media and traditional diplomacy. Worldwide, FleishmanHillard helps manage media relations for multilateral meetings with heads of state, ministers and senior officials.

Economic Development & Tourism

Understanding the unique needs of policymakers, FleishmanHillard has helped nations advance their position on Free Trade Agreements in Latin America, the EU and the U.S. By telling stories of progress and opportunity, we help states and provinces drive foreign investment, promote exports and increase tourism – and engage constituencies in adjacent industries to tell a fuller story.
