International institutional support and support with communications for the presidency and government of an African country

Starting point:

The country in question was in the process of a political changeover, and wanted to restore its reputation. It was trying to renew diplomatic links with other countries which had been disappointed by the previous administration and attract investors. It contacted Concerto to support it in these endeavours.

Our approach:

Concerto’s work involved providing day-to-day support, combining strategic advice with managing international media relations and institutional relations. More specifically, Concerto implemented the following initiatives:  
  • It mapped targeted international private and institutional stakeholders
  • It relayed flagship development projects and investment opportunities.
  • It raised the awareness of international and pan-African institutions of the country's positions and initiatives.
  • A provided support for international events in the country: it made decisions about who to invite and sent out invitations, scheduled them, oversaw media relations, etc.
  • It organised business events for members of the government with the international private sector
  • It organised high-level meetings with heads of state and representatives of institutions
  • It accompanied the President on a number of his official trips and organised high-level meetings for the delegation
  • It oversaw media relations internationally with the most prestigious media publications
  • It managed the social network presence

Results
