no nonsense. no lobbying. NO SPIN.
Kempock helps organisations navigate politics as it actually works in reality.
Government, parliament and political pressure rarely behave as described in reports, briefings or strategy documents.
That’s where judgement and advice make the difference.
Just clear advice from someone who’s been in the room.
We are not a lobbying firm. We are not a PR agency.
We offer straight-talking political advice when you need it most.
Most organisations don't need political advice every day. They need it at the right moment. Sometimes that's months before an issue emerges. Sometimes it's within hours of it developing.
That's why our work focuses on two broad areas: Proactive Strategy and Reactive Advisory. Most clients need both.
PLAN AHEAD
“Political problems are much easier to manage before they become problems.”
Whether you're preparing for policy or law change, engaging with devolved government and politicians, entering a regulated market, or responding to a public consultation, understanding the political landscape early can make all the difference.
We help organisations anticipate political risk, identify opportunities and engage before issues become problems.
Timing and judgement matter.
The earlier you engage, the more options you have.
Clients are better prepared, better informed and less likely to be caught off guard.
REACT FAST
“Politics rarely arrives with much warning.”
A committee appearance. Media scrutiny. Stakeholder backlash. Ministerial questions. A fast-moving issue gathering momentum.
When you're facing difficult questions, managing reputational risk or responding to events as they unfold, we provide clear thinking, honest advice and practical support when it matters most.
When you need advice quickly, that’s where we come in.
THE PERSON AT THE END OF THE PHONE
Sometimes you need strategy.
Sometimes you just need someone at the end of the phone to tell you what they really think. That’s Kempock.
Straight-talking political judgement from someone who’s been in the room.
The advice you need to hear, not the advice you want to hear.
What sort of advice do we offer?
