Sitting within the Advocacy, Insights and Mobilisation team at 89up, our EU team works on campaigns and projects that set out to influence EU policy or European citizens more widely. We combine skills within traditional public affairs and policy analysis with great communications tactics, such as press and digital, to build strong campaigns that influence policymakers both directly and indirectly.
We have worked on influencing everything from a landmark anti-deforestation law to how the EU should renovate its buildings for better energy efficiency. We guide our clients in how to speak to different political stakeholders within the EU, as well as how to communicate complicated policy issues to the general public.
