227 Partners, a new Australian public affairs advisory, insights and advocacy consultancy has launched to support clients to navigate government with confidence.
Led by Susanna Montrone, a trusted adviser with decades of experience in senior government and public relations consultancy roles, the new agency will combine political and policy strategy, government relations and community engagement services with market entry research and due diligence, transaction communications and executive counsel.
“At a time of heightened geopolitical risk, when government is increasingly interventionist in the marketplace, corporate clients are seeking hands on support that applies senior level counsel with a practical understanding of how to integrate business priorities with Australian parliaments, government agencies and key stakeholders,” said 227 Partners executive director, Susanna Montrone.
“Our team, led by expert advisers in government, investment and regulatory risk, work in partnership with clients to design and execute effective strategies – anchored by proprietary intelligence – across the public and private sector interface.”
227 Partners is backed by Ideia Partners, a growing boutique corporate advisory, transaction support and investment firm with domestic and international clients in the infrastructure, property, defence, banking and financial services, transport and energy sectors.
“We are seeing clear market demand for integrated services that combine corporate advisory and transaction support with public affairs and regulatory expertise, to better capitalise on investment opportunities and manage uncertainty in domestic and international markets,” said Ideia Partners managing partner, Jason de Sousa.
“Ideia Partners extensive customer base across a wide and diverse range of business and industry sectors in Australia has welcomed the addition of a new strategic alliance with 227 Partners to expand our overall service offering.”
