It’s been a busy year. From automotive bailouts and sector-specific assistance packages to marketing programs, targeted tax cuts and rebates, industries that reached out in 2009 have found an uncharacteristically open ear in Ottawa. As the effects of the global economic downturn wear on, governments everywhere continue to look for partners who can help develop solutions.

Pre-budget consultations are a key opportunity to make your voice heard. We’ve worked up a package of services that can help ensure your issues are part of the discussion.

From framing your story and helping you draft a compelling narrative to maximizing a committee appearance and building a media strategy, we can help you reach your goals.  Pre-budget strategy sessions are tailored to fit your needs and include:

• Crafting an effective pre-budget submission
• Message and concept development
• Raising your profile with government
• Committee preparation–what to expect and how to succeed
• Media relations–how to get heard and what to say once they’re listening

Summer in Ottawa is an opportunity. Take advantage and make sure your issues are heard.
