Our Services
EU decision-making involves a large number of institutions, processes and actors. For organisations that are not based in Brussels or do not have dedicated EU affairs staff, working out how to engage effectively can be difficult.
PLUX Consulting has over 20 years of experience in Brussels across EU public affairs and communications, and a well-established network of contacts among policymakers, stakeholders and journalists. We work with clients to help them understand and engage with EU processes, communicate their positions, and manage their Brussels presence – practically and without unnecessary complexity.
Public Affairs
PLUX Consulting develops and executes comprehensive public affairs strategies.
…
Engaging with EU policy processes requires a clear understanding of how decisions are made, who the relevant actors are, and how to make a position heard among many competing voices. A well-grounded public affairs approach helps organisations participate meaningfully in legislative and regulatory processes and build credibility with the institutions over time.
…
We offer, among other things:
- Monitoring and analysis of legislative procedures
- Stakeholder mapping and engagement
- Drafting position papers, briefing documents, speaking points etc.
- Arranging meetings with policymakers and stakeholders
Communications
PLUX Consulting designs and implements effective communications campaigns.
…
Clear, consistent communication – through media, social channels, publications and direct stakeholder outreach – is an important part of how organisations build their reputation and get their positions across. What is said publicly also needs to support what is being pursued in policy processes, and keeping those two things aligned is part of what we help clients with.
…
We offer, among other things:
- Drafting press releases, newsletters and other communication materials
- Organisation of press events
- Facilitating contacts with journalists
- Management of social media accounts and blogs
- Social media training
Event Management
PLUX Consulting organises and facilitates small-scale events that make an impact.
…
Focused events – workshops, expert roundtables and seminars – remain one of the most effective ways to engage directly with policymakers and stakeholders. Keeping the group small and the agenda well prepared tends to produce better conversations than large-scale conferences. We handle the full organisation, from agenda and invitations through to moderation on the day.
…
We offer, among other things:
- Preparation with regard to content and agenda
- Identification of potential participants and speakers
- Invitation and registration of participants
- Search for a suitable venue
- Organisation of catering
- Moderation of event
Association Management

…
We offer, among other things:
- Management of staff
- Handling of administrative tasks
