Why hire Carney Associates
Results – we have been successful in achieving desired outcomes for clients in a wide range of sectors – defence, aviation, banking and financial services, higher education, health and medical research and transport. These have ranged across policy reform, changes to legislation and regulation, to significant funding from the Commonwealth Budget.
Knowledge – our deep understanding of Federal politics, Parliamentary and governmental processes and the Canberra milieu has been built up over many years. We can help you navigate the complex processes of government, and we know the difference between fact, speculation and rumour.
Relationships - our networks have been built over time and encompass the major and minor parties, independents and the most senior levels of the public service, as well as the Press Gallery and major national industry organisations.
Experience – we have worked in many areas with many clients and harness this experience to work with you and your organisation. We are used to working effectively with clients’ communications and marketing professionals to ensure that their values and strategic goals are embedded and enhanced in their political advocacy.
Reputation – our track record is one of dealing with integrity with our clients, the government and the opposition of the day, minor parties and independents and the bureaucracy. We do not seek to “become the story” - we seek to achieve positive outcomes for and with our clients. You, the client, have the leading role. Our job is to advise, support and represent you to the very best of our ability and to the highest standards. We have no agenda other than yours.
Cost – we are a boutique firm and have deliberately maintained this model. Our fees are based on the complexity of the client’s brief and the effort that will be required to execute it. We invoice directly relevant expenses at cost. Carney Associates’ clients do not subsidise expensive offices or other corporate activities.
