Our expertise
INFORM YOU
Knowledge feeds our influence strategies. We keep a close eye on our clients' issues and provide them with targeted analyses, which serve as decision-making and action tools. We alert them to the potential impact of European developments on their activities.
Our customised monitoring aims to inform our clients as early as possible about the issues specific to their business. Thanks to our network of contacts at the very heart of the institutions, we have access to comprehensive information that enables us to build appropriate influence strategies.
OUR SERVICES
- Drafting of personalised digital monitoring with recommendations
- Intervention in the executive committees to alert on the risks and opportunities of the regulatory framework and to enhance the actions of public affairs teams
- Facilitating sessions to decipher the issues and brainstorm in order to define our clients' positions
- Mapping the balance of power, both at the institutional level and between stakeholders, in order to identify allies and adversaries on an issue
- Information on networks, appointments and movements in places of power
An effective lobbying strategy starts with mastering information, timetables, networks and, above all, with defining clear objectives.
POSITION YOU
Our mission is to listen to you and to build a relationship of trust with you, providing you with the right advice so that, together, we can build and implement your influence strategy.
We are convinced of the importance of a substance lobbying, not an agitation one, for a lasting influence. Together, we craft the right messages that will resonate in the European media space, both digital and traditional.

TRAIN YOU
Athenora's associates are academically recognised (SciencesPo, ENA, ICP, IHEDN). From influence strategies to lobby trainings, we offer you tailor-made training sessions, dedicated to the development of knowledge (deciphering regulatory texts and their impact on your activities, methodological approach to lobbying) or interpersonal skills (knowing how to present your case with conviction, preparing for institutional meetings). We coach public affairs teams and their management to enable them to engage with conviction, to understand the dynamics of influence and the codes of speaking within the European ecosystem.
We have created a branch dedicated to this activity:
