Local government communications
Our team are sought-after experts in local government communications, having provided ongoing and project-specific services to councils for many years.
Local government activities are as diverse as they are influential. Effectively communicating and engaging on issues with residents, iwi, Central Government, and other key stakeholders is complex work in which we excel. Several of our team members have previously worked for local government and continue to support councils in our mahi here at Priority Communications.
Our experience means we understand the unique regulatory and legal frameworks in which councils operate, and the importance of strong community engagement. As trained Public Information Managers (PIM), our team can also be called on to support Civil Defence emergency responses.
We pride ourselves on working seamlessly with in-house communications and marketing teams, whether to lead projects or support the wider team.
We offer a range of proven services to local governments including:
community consultation and engagement
Long-Term Plan, Annual Plan, strategy, and Annual Report development
Civil Defence and Emergency Management PIM support
crisis communications
marketing and advertising
internal communications with staff and elected members
campaign design and implementation.
