What we do
Political advisory
At QLT Strategic, politics is core to what we do. Our team is immersed in the political process, building intelligence, relationships and strategic experience that translate directly into value for our clients. We encourage active participation, giving us sharper insight and influence when it matters most.
Campaigns
Our senior team brings decades of combined campaign experience across business, politics and media. We get projects moving from a standing start, managing strategy, budgeting, logistics and communications. We deliver campaigns that are disciplined, persuasive and designed to achieve results.
Events and operations
Political and corporate events bring high stakes and close scrutiny. Our team has significant experience delivering conferences, launches and set-piece moments for leaders under pressure. We manage logistics, stakeholders and communications to ensure precision, impact and success.
Regulation and planning
The regulatory environment is complex, fast-moving and political. We support clients on major projects where scrutiny is intense and approvals are critical. By combining clear analysis with strategic engagement, we help shape the conditions for delivery and safeguard long-term value.
