Stakeholder management
Strategic influence.
When relationships are complex, decisions are high-stakes and reputations are on the line, stakeholder management stops being a nice-to-have. It becomes a critical part of how your organisation leads.
We help senior teams engage stakeholders even when interests compete and agendas shift. From internal leadership and regulators to investors, communities and external partners, we help you manage the people who matter most and keep trust intact.
Where stakeholder support really matters.
We support high-stakes engagement where alignment is essential and decisions carry weight. That includes:
- Mergers, acquisitions and strategic pivots
- Board alignment and investor communications
- Multi-partner or multi-agency collaboration
- Public or media scrutiny
- ESG and sustainability strategy rollout
- Sensitive workforce or union relations
- Expansion into new markets or audiences
How we work.
Map the relationships.
We identify who your stakeholders really are. Then we assess their priorities, motivations and influence to map out how best to engage.
Strategy development.
We’ll then build engagement plans. We define tone, tactics, timing.
Delivery.
From high-level briefing packs and events to tailored messaging, media prep or internal comms, we deliver the content and structure to support you and ensure you engage effectively.
Why Strand.
We work closely with CEOs, CPOs, legal and comms/marketing leads to shape messages that align leadership, earn trust and keep momentum going. With a team that includes former journalists, senior strategists and in-house comms leads, we understand how decisions are made and how stories take shape. That means less second-guessing and more progress.
