Taking it to the top

Acumen Republic has 30 years of government relations experience. It's what our business was founded on and we maintain a very strong offering in-house. Unlike many agencies, we don't outsource this work to associates or affiliates.

This crucial part of our business consists of a senior team whose knowledge, experience and relationships are well-honed and credible. Our clients have access to a broad cross-section of Government and opposition party relationships, government and regulatory agency networks and local government connections.

Much of this work is confidential but to give you a glimpse of our capabilities, in recent times we have:

• Introduced the global head of research for a major client to the relevant Minister;
• Sought skilled labour regulatory changes to enable one of our international clients to speedily bring specialist technicians to New Zealand;
• Secured and organised a Parliamentary function to launch an economic  impact study, including securing the attendance of a number of cabinet ministers and senior officials;
• Advised and supported a client around a select committee inquiry;
• Advised another client on a select committee submission on the role of their organisation;
• Developed select committee submissions on changes to alcohol law;
• Worked with a client around a significant public private partnership opportunity;
• Worked with a major consortium to secure Prime Ministerial support for a substantial initiative.
