We’re pleased to share that this week Toby Varian has joined our Political Insights team, as Public Affairs Manager, building on the growth of our strategic communications and political insights. Toby joins us with a wealth of both central government and agency experience, working with a range of stakeholders within the Cabinet and Shadow Cabinet, as well as business leaders, think tanks, and other organisations.
A core part of Toby’s role in coming weeks will include working with our clients to maximise their value and participation at industry and party conferences, including September’s Labour Party Conference. Following the success of our client programme at UKREIF, Kanda is actively working to build bespoke engagement programmes, hone corporate narratives and messaging and position clients strongly with political decision makers at this year’s Conference. Labour Conference in Liverpool promises to be the most significant for the development sector in more than a decade and it is critical for developers to ensure they are closely aligned with Labour’s direction of travel.
Kanda can guide clients through the complex world of Labour Party conference to ensure they maximise the value of attending conference and put themselves in a prime position to work with the new Labour government.
Some of the ways we’re helping clients achieve this is through:
- Bespoke engagement programmes including identifying event panel participation opportunities, 1:1 meetings and introductions and networking opportunities
- Labour-aligned messaging and narrative to ensure corporate narratives strike a chord with political audiences and leaders
- Collateral development including presentations, brochures, talking points and flyers
- Targeted social media campaigns to raise corporate profiles and drive website traffic
Toby will be attending conference with our MD Karen Alcock and our Director of Insights Andrew Clark and the rest of the Kanda team.
