Strategic Communications - South Africa Service Sheet

Providing Expert-Driven Industry Focused Insights Helping Clients to Identify, Create and Capture Value

FTI Consulting Strategic Communications helps clients use their communications assets to seize opportunities, manage crises, navigate market disruptions, articulate their brand, stake a competitive position and preserve their permission to operate.

We do so by focusing on opportunities that arise from: new markets and geographies; industry consolidation and M&A across international borders; changing local, regional and international legislative and regulatory environments; growth in activist scrutiny; the need to educate and persuade stakeholders about the benefits of operational change and development; and the drive by clients to attract and retain industry-leading talent.

Corporate Reputation

The Corporate Reputation team at FTI Consulting specialises in protecting and enhancing reputations; building an organisation’s profile as a leader; and, ultimately, supporting business outcomes that contribute to an organisation’s enterprise value.

Our specialists work with clients to achieve these outcomes with tailored corporate reputation and public relations services that deliver credible and consistent messages to priority stakeholders through a variety of channels.

Public Affairs

Legislative and regulatory pressure is becoming more prevalent around the globe, which increases a company’s compliance obligations and jeopardises its licence to operate. Managing political risk is a growing imperative for effective corporate governance and business planning.

FTI Consulting combines public policy, capital markets and sector-specific expertise to offer a unique capability for clients operating at the critical intersection between business and government.

Crisis & Issues Management

When a company faces an unforeseen crisis, billions of dollars in market value can hang in the balance.

FTI Consulting has helped manage some of the most high-profile crises for clients across industry groups and geographies. By helping clients prepare for the unexpected and respond quickly when trouble arises, FTI Consulting ultimately protects a company’s reputation and its permission to operate.
