It describes a typical public affairs campaign as follows: "A typical programme may include representations to UK or EU government, officials or regulators, contributing to the policy debate through green papers, think tanks or the media, training for UK or EU committee interviews, support drafting UK Private Members Bills or EU own initiative reports, preparing political intelligence reports or acting as an early warning monitor. Cicero undertakes these and many other activities on behalf of our clients."[1]
