ENGAGEMENT
Primera helps you grow your knowledge of place-based partnerships, sharing understanding of how to set one up and how to make the most of it. We can guide you through every stage from making the case, building consensus, formally creating a partnership, to forming a strategy and running engagement programmes. Examples of our engagement expertise include:
-
STRATEGIC COUNSEL
We provide ongoing support where agile advice and extra capacity is required to help you achieve your outcomes. If required we can embed an experienced member of our team within yours, to deliver the most tailored guidance, enable knowledge transfer, and upskill your team.
-
COLLABORATION WORKSHOPS
We help placemaking teams design and problem-solve for every kind of scenario. Whether you work as part of a city government and want to bring local businesses on your journey, or you are a business that wants to engage government to deliver local improvement, our teams will guide you in the skills required for effective collaboration.
-
KEY ISSUE PRESENTATIONS
We offer sessions on key topics, in-person or virtually, that draw on our 20 years’ experience of delivery. With expertise across a number of place specialisms, from culture and tourism to financial services and life sciences, we are able to identify what your destination needs and how a place partnership could deliver it.
-
MEDIA & PUBLIC AFFAIRS SUPPORT
Whether you’re looking to get your local authority to play a more active part in your work, or to raise your profile with national government, we help you engage with strategic partners to champion the needs of your place, provide external perspective and develop advocacy. Our external relations team can help you maximise your output and extend you reach across a range of media channels.
