Connecting people in a complex world.
Global developments now reach our doorsteps within minutes while new technologies disrupt even the most stable industries. The complexity, uncertainty, and pace of change can be staggering.
What will not change are the people at the center. Business, much like diplomacy, happens in the last three feet – one person connecting with another.
Winter Strategies is your on-call diplomat – from strategy and advocacy to execution and response – making the plans and connections to take your idea and company where you want it to go and beyond.
Winter Strategies provides comprehensive, flexible, multi-industry services, working closely with key partners across multiple specialties:
Pathways
International Growth
Winter Strategies’ expertise and contact base reaches across the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Your team can take advantage of the diplomatic experience, international network, and cultural competence to engage foreign markets and audiences. From understanding key overseas stakeholders and opinion leaders to developing and executing your international strategy, we lean on years of experience advocating for companies and government interests in complex, often opaque environments. Our workshops can prepare your executives for foreign engagements, or we can join your team side-by-side at the negotiating table. We can also work with you in hosting foreign companies, officials, and VIPs, acting as the focal point for coordination, logistics, and communications. We are your company’s diplomatic corps.
Network & Partners
Representation & Management
We take an owner’s representative approach to our work, aligning with your interests and integrating fully with your teams. As your representative and advocate, we will share your priorities at every step, available to partner on all aspects of your project big or small. We can assist in your organization’s structuring or actively lead your teams through critical projects and deliverables. We will sit side-by-side from concept development to strategy to execution and management.
Network & Partners
Strategic Public Affairs
Building your company’s influence, network, and reputation takes holistic communications and engagement. From engaging the right counterparts quietly to launching your brand’s latest campaign publicly, we have the expertise to think through and deliver the bigger picture. We can help build your network within industry, government, media, and the public. We can train you to get in front of the camera or we can step in and speak publicly on your behalf. We can be your company’s representative with marketing, PR, or production firms, managing projects with strictly your interests and priorities in mind. Or we can develop your branding in-house, creating the strategy and communications plan to take you public. We can also help your company navigate a crisis or unexpected turn. It’s communications in the grandest sense of the term.
Risk Mitigation
With experience operating in dynamic environments alongside leading national security professionals, we can provide the big-picture policy analysis or on-the-ground expertise to manage your physical, intellectual, and technological risks. We partner with a network of diplomatic, analytic, and law enforcement experts to understand, strategize, and minimize your exposure. We also tap into Northern Ireland’s world-class cybersecurity industry to provide you the tools and solutions to stay ahead of the threat.
