Bring us the challenge
PA Cooperative is a public affairs and communications consultancy helping organisations turn challenges and ambitions into practical action. We start by understanding what you want to achieve, then bring together the right combination of experience, expertise and delivery to help make it happen.
From political engagement and policy support to PR, media relations, events, video and digital content, we shape our approach around the outcome you need.
Understanding the challenge comes first
Every piece of work starts with understanding what you want to achieve, the environment you are operating in and the people you need to reach.
From there, we draw on our experience and judgement to work out what will make the greatest difference. That might involve one area of expertise or several working together, combining strategy, engagement, communications and creative delivery.
The work is shaped around your objectives and what will help you achieve them.
Experience put to practical use
PA Cooperative was established in 2013 by experienced public affairs and communications practitioners with a shared belief in straightforward, pragmatic and collaborative advice.
Our team brings experience across politics, media, business and communications, working with organisations in sectors including rural affairs, education, technology, property, planning, law and religious affairs.
We complement that experience with a trusted network of specialists across video, photography, digital, Westminster and other areas, bringing together the right people and capabilities for each piece of work.
Based in Scotland and working across the UK, we support clients nationally and regularly deliver engagement and events at Westminster.
How we can help
Our work spans communications, public affairs, engagement and creative delivery, with the combination shaped by what each client wants to achieve.
PR and communications
Strategic communications, PR, media relations and content that build profile, strengthen reputation and help organisations communicate clearly with the audiences that matter.
Public affairs and political engagement
Political insight, stakeholder engagement, policy support and campaigns that help organisations understand the political environment, build relationships and make their case effectively.
Events and engagement
In-person and online events, roundtables, parliamentary engagement and other opportunities that bring the right people together around an issue, idea or objective.
Creative and digital
Video, photography, websites and digital content that turn ideas and messages into engaging communications, delivered with trusted specialist partners.
Our work
Our clients come to us with different challenges, audiences and ambitions.
We bring together the thinking, expertise and delivery each piece of work needs, from focused interventions to longer-term programmes combining public affairs, communications, engagement and creative activity.
Creating manifestos for Elections across the UK
Challenge:
Forestry and wood processing is an important industry, both economically and environmentally, in all parts of the UK, but is at times low down the policy agenda – and rarely discussed during election campaigns.
Helping Scottish Woodlands Tell Their Story
Challenge:
Scottish Woodlands Ltd is one of the most successful forestry services companies in the UK and has experienced significant growth in recent years. However, staff were so busy with the day job that the company’s external communications were limited.
Delivering High-Quality Events: In-Person and online
Challenge:
The coronavirus pandemic changed the nature of events. Audiences were suddenly much more willing to engage online – and remain keen to do so, in the right circumstances. Not all events have returned to being in-person – but in many cases, they have.
