Industry Sectors

TACTIX communications specialists combine substantive knowledge of the issues facing key economic sectors with comprehensive expertise in government relations.

Trust and reputation management are key, as certain sectors may be fiercely opposed by media savvy special-interest groups. We ensure that the relevant government entities clearly understand your value to the economy, your objectives, and the legislative, regulatory, and diplomatic actions which will best facilitate your success.

• Agriculture
  The agriculture sector is particularly vulnerable to consumer perceptions – a crisis and attendant media focus can exert enough political pressure in Ottawa to force regulatory changes with unintended effects on agri-businesses.
   
• Aerospace
  TACTIX’ Ottawa-based government relations experts understand the federal government and its procurement strategies, regulations and research and development programs and the origins of each.
