Issues Management and Advocacy
An effective public affairs campaign must make
policymakers, influencers and constituents know precisely how
the issues
affect their lives. Through grassroots media, direct
marketing, online tactics and hard-hitting issue advertising,
Tugba Kalafatoglu Associates has successfully spread awareness
on issues .
Reputation Management
An organization's reputation is the lifeblood
of its effectiveness, especially when it comes to influencing
opinion leaders. Managed properly, it can positively impact an
organization's financial, political or public affairs goals.
It is also a critical factor in how well an organization weathers
a crisis. Tugba Kalafatoglu Associates can provide a reputation
management strategy that will help protect your most valuable
asset and reach key stakeholders, such as consumers, communities
and public officials.
Legislative Strategy
The legislative
process can be like navigating a minefield if you haven't prepared
a solid strategy. With a convergence of competing interest groups
for every issue, the terrain can be unpredictable, and stepping
out of the pack requires a differentiator. Working as a complement
to your traditional lobbying operations, Tuğba Kalafatoğlu Associates
can deliver
a legislative strategy that employs the full array
of public affairs and communications competencies you will need
to win.

Crisis Communication
When trouble hits, in just hours, or even minutes,
reputations can be made or broken. During this critical time,
a Company can create a meaningful bond with its customers or
sustain damage that is widespread and long-lasting. In some
cases, the damage is easily quantified – legal liabilities, lost
productivity of a closed plant, orders cancelled. In others,
the damage to
a Company’s reputation is beyond the measurement
of today’s stock price or tomorrow’s order flow – it is the difference
between prospering and surviving, or even going out of business.
Tugba Kalafatoglu & Associates prepares
with planning that impacts all corporate stakeholders including
consumers, employees, shareholders, government officials, NGO’s
and community leaders. When a crisis hits, TK can react immediately
with a multi-channel and multi-discipline approach that addresses
each of these key critical audiences.
Of course, the best way to manage a crisis situation
is to avoid one. Finding vulnerabilities and designing strategies
to manage around them is one of the ways Tuğba Kalafatoğlu & Associates
can also help companies and organizations anticipate and defuse
potentially volatile situations. But if the unavoidable occurs,
we can help your organization quickly regain control by delivering
a strategy that redefines the situation on your terms.
