Corporate diplomacy builds dynamic corporate reputations and enduring legacies.

What We Do

Reading the news is not the same as understanding the power dynamics between leaders and nations. That’s our specialty! We can help you make informed decisions for your business, taking into account the ever-changing geopolitical landscape.
Should you move your logistics facility to another state or another country? We can help untangle your operational challenges while mitigating risks and building your reputation in new or existing markets.
We are proactive communicators who believe that corporate diplomacy can prevent the most common policy crises. However, we recognize that other types of crises can also arise. We’ve skillfully handled every kind of crisis and conflict you can imagine.
To establish or reimagine a presence, corporations often need to initiate philanthropy strategies and implement community-based programs in new or existing markets. We are experts in building those programs and vetting potential partners.

Through our Policy, Industry, and Engagement (PIE) corporate diplomacy framework, we help our clients mitigate risks, enter new markets, and build initiatives that engage their consumers, communities, and lawmakers. How does this work? Here are two examples:

When we help CPG executives advocate for open roadways to transport goods during civil conflicts or after natural disasters, we can also proactively ask for humanitarian corridors for aid organizations that may not have a seat at that policy table.

Or, as we guide e-commerce retail executives to develop new fashion product packaging, we can also ensure their packages meet the highest global environmental and safety standards. This encourages industry-wide norms that exceed local regulations.

Policy

We love policy analysis and navigating regulatory hurdles. When you partner with Girl Friday, you benefit from deep experience and zero conflicts of interest.

Industry

Can international goals, like the United Nations SDGs, align with industry objectives? When those worlds collide, companies can wield greater influence.

Engagement

We go beyond traditional corporate communications tactics and strategies to ensure our clients engage meaningfully with lawmakers, consumers, and communities.

We look forward to getting to know you! Let’s start with a meeting in DC, NYC, or London. Or, virtually with a slice of pie.
