Every company functions in both market and non-market environment. Non-market strategies are even more important when the company’s chances are dependent on the social climate in which a given company operates. Companies have smaller control over the results of their operations in the non-market environment than in the case of operations performed in the market environment. It means that for many of them non-market strategies may be crucial in the long run and they require planning and foresight.

We have strong competences in creating exceptional communication platforms and contexts aimed at building relations with particular stakeholders’ groups as well as favourable climate and understanding for our customers’ goals and operations.
