The word “affinity” implies a close connection or compatibility with various aspects of public affairs. It suggests a consultancy that specializes in navigating and managing various aspects of public affairs with a focus on connections, relationships, and a shared sense of compatibility. A public affairs consultancy that puts you, the client, first.
