The following decade will be marked by growth in various sensitive industries, but also by disruption, from both regulators and the general trends in society. These trends have been heavily accelerated by the pandemic and the fast pace of technological advancement. In other words, the world is moving faster, the regulators are moving faster than ever, and models based on rigid separation between agency-client do not work anymore.
Wide Advocacy is built on a newer, hybrid model, where adaptability and flexibility to the client’s demands are built-in characteristics of our advocacy model. Rather than the classic type of agency, Wide Advocacy will function as a collective of experts in these fields, coordinated, filtered and vetted by our senior team.
This allow us the flexibility to work as an extended member of our customers’ teams, and deliver on quickness and responsiveness, but still maintain the standards and work principles we have grown accustomed to. It will also allow us our client to tap into a wider pool of experts, without being encumbered by a heavy agency structure. This kind of hybrid model between the more classic agency and a fast-responding customer team allows to differentiate Wide Advocacy as an actual advocacy platform, where public affairs professionals get paired with various clients.
Still, the “wide” in Wide Advocacy does not only reference the way it is going to function. It also mirrors the way we view advocacy as a whole. For a long while, advocacy was little more than an extension of public affairs, with a heavy focus on lobbying and the intimate knowledge needed regarding the levers of regulation and political systems. While this still is a very important, very central component of the process, more is needed to be successful in advocating for our clients. Digital monitoring and intelligence gathering, online influence and cybersecurity, grassroots campaigns and a deep understanding of branding and marketing issues are just a few of the tools needed nowadays in order to truly be able to help our clients when it comes to achieving positive regulatory outcomes. Bringing companies together and bridging the distance between various industries, building coalitions, are all things needed now in the field of advocacy.
Wide Advocacy is a global provider of advocacy services, which allows us to use our founders’ experience in the realm of US, EU, Asia and South America regulatory issues. So, maybe you are an EU or US company looking to enter the South East Asia, the Middle East, or Australia. Or you are a South East Asia entity who is looking at Western markets. Or, you could be a Western or Chinese corporation who has operations or factories in China and are looking to transition some of those towards South East Asia. We promise a different experience from public affairs agencies, much more focused on delivering services and actual results. For more about our team, please see our advisors.
