Our first major engagements, in 2002-03, were on either side of the Atlantic: to support a coalition pushing for a presidential AIDS initiative in the U.S., and to run communications at the International AIDS Conference in Paris, highlighting France’s emergence as a major international AIDS donor. To date, the company has helped clients influence policy and generate billions of media impressions and billions of dollars in funding for efforts they champion.
Such efforts have included media campaigns across the G8 nations, as well as supporting governments such as the European Commission's work on global health, and the French national AIDS Research Agency, as well as targeting U.S. Congressional opinion with press conferences, deskside briefings, and paid advertising; and press events at national political conventions in Canada and the U.S
Amgott | Mitchell’s team maintains relationships with leading media around the world in order to provide support within both the private and public sectors. In addition to traditional media, the firm was among the first to employ strategies such as PSA campaigns to drive online engagement, blogger outreach and briefings, and the innovative use of text messaging to engage audiences in political change. Underpinning all of Amgott | Mitchell’s communications strategies is the firm’s intimate understanding of the intersection of media and policy change, particularly in global health and development issues.
