Strategic Communication Laboratories
Quoting Abraham Lincoln, the opening page of SCL's website clearly states its objective: "Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment nothing can fail. Without it nothing can succeed. He who molds public opinion is greater than he who enacts laws." [1]
The company pledges strict confidentiality, saying that "absolutely no information concerning any of our past projects will be made available under any circumstances".[2] However, Oakes has admitted working in South Africa, but refused to talk about any other cliets.
