Government regulation is perhaps the most important factor affecting the business environment, but it is not a force of nature, it can be influenced by public affairs. Manifesto is a professional in public affairs and government relations. We help companies and organizations anticipate and respond to changes, as well as increase their social visibility through public affairs. When executed effectively, public affairs have a direct impact on the organization’s bottom line. 

Manifesto is a strong expert in guiding foreign businesses in their investment decisions in Finland. Particularly, evaluating the societal and governmental landscape is essential for successful market entry or expansion. The challenges surrounding upcoming legislation, taxation, state aid policies, permitting processes, and governmental actions are critical factors that can significantly influence business models and the technologies employed.

Companies are becoming increasingly international and have multiple needs to communicate with their stakeholders in different countries. But what works in Finland does not work in Sweden or the US, let alone India. As a rule, impactful communication is done in the local markets with a local language and customs. It is important to understand and take cultural differences into account.  

Media visibility has a significant impact on the awareness and reputation of companies and organizations. When dealing with the media, it is important to understand the media's ways of working and news criteria. Why should your organization be of interest to the media, how to approach the media, how to build relationships with journalists who follow your industry issues, or how to act in media interviews?
