Our Approach

We help clients preserve the political support and public trust that underpin their operations.

How we work

Different by design. Agile in approach. Grounded in results.

Bantham Advisory was founded to provide bespoke solutions to challenges across political influence, geopolitics, and media in the age of AI.

Too many campaigns fail because they engage at the wrong time, in the wrong place, with irrelevant arguments. We take a fundamentally different approach: methodologically grounded campaigns built on systematic research and innovative thinking, designed around your specific audiences and how they actually operate.

Our modular approach means every solution is tailored from the ground up. We combine core methodologies with specialist expertise, bringing in issue-specific experts as needed to create precisely what each challenge demands. This flexible design enables us to work efficiently and competitively.

We build strategic campaigns that adapt as circumstances change, staying relentlessly focused on achieving your objectives. Taking a boutique approach to client relations, we work as if we're in-house, prioritizing deep understanding of your requirements and goals.

We partner with clients seeking specialized expertise, innovative solutions to complex problems, and a committed team to navigate their unique challenges and opportunities.

“I had the pleasure of working with Ben during a period of intense legislative activity and political scrutiny, and was consistently struck by his composure, clarity of thought, and relentless focus on delivering results. He personally secured public health awareness partnerships with both the UK and Irish governments, and drove the strategy that led to a successful amendment to the Online Safety Act. Ben also developed and executed our wider political engagement programme - mapping key policy issues, identifying influential voices across government and Parliament, and building the relationships needed to influence outcomes. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for sharp strategic advice and real impact in public affairs.”

“I worked with Ben during a pivotal period for DXC, as we supported the UK Government through evolving digital and security threats - all within a context of tight public finances and heightened political scrutiny. Ben developed a sharp, tailored public affairs strategy that helped us navigate these pressures while increasing our engagement with UK and devolved governments at the early stages of policy development - from departmental discussions to select committee consultations. This positioned us as a credible voice on critical issues. The team also flagged emerging political and policy risks early, enabling us to adapt our compliance roadmap, avoid potential penalties, and protect key client relationships. If you’re facing political risk or reputational pressure, Ben is exactly who you want in the room - calm, strategic, and focused on outcomes.”

“Working with Bantham is exactly how it should be – you ask, they advise and always deliver. They recognise that companies must engage across every level of democracy in the United Kingdom, providing valuable insights and advice on engaging with a wide range of stakeholders, tailoring our approach to reflect specific political and regulatory realities, rather than offering generic counsel. They helped deliver our evolving public affairs strategy, developing strategic frameworks, clear plans, and tactical approaches to enable effective delivery of our key messages across political and regulatory audiences. Bantham integrated seamlessly into the team, demonstrating flexibility during tight deadlines, changing timelines, and shifting priorities. If you need a team who never dither, and always deliver – you need Bantham.”
