Introduction to political communications: A day with Whitehouse

Whitehouse Communications delivered a public affairs and communications insights session with 180 Degrees Consulting King’s College London students.

Two members of the Whitehouse’s team, Laura Contin and Saagar Dattani, yesterday (28th April) provided an introduction to political consulting in the United Kingdom and the European Union and what a day at Whitehouse Communications involves. They shared some advice on what to look out for when applying for roles, key points to consider, and what consultancies look for in prospective applicants.
