Want better advocacy communications? Think STOCK. Strategy, Tactics, Organization, Consistency, and Know-how.” — Caracal Global Founder Marc A. Ross

How Caracal Global Thinks

Caracal Global believes thought leadership matched by high-frequency communications has the power to create new opportunities for commerce and culture.

Many organizations have an advocacy process, but few are built on the model of an American presidential campaign, harnessing grassroots power, developing influential advocates, and shaped by MBA strategies.

By developing a proper strategy, utilizing winning tactics, organizing effectively, speaking consistently, and sharing know-how, thought leadership can shape globalization and politics.

How Caracal Global Serves

Clients hire Caracal Global to ghostwrite, engage influencer networks, manage media relations, produce events, audit their communications infrastructure, consult on hiring, deliver executive education, provide issue briefs and news generating talking points, as well as manage end to end thought leader communication efforts where Caracal Global assumes the role of senior advisor, project leader, or general contractor.

Caracal Global works independently but provides access to a strong global network of collaborators with expertise in websites, graphic design, audio, video, film, book publishing, online reputation management, polling, data analytics, research, and geopolitical experts

With decades of experience working on political, advocacy, and communications campaigns at the highest levels in the United States and the United Kingdom, Caracal has built national communication and advocacy campaign, both online and offline, and influencer marketing solutions tailored to a client’s strategic priorities.

How Caracal Global Leads

Caracal leads organizations to build robust, integrated, multi-touch advocacy systems that ensure success focused on strategy, tactics, organization, consistency, and know-how.

Caracal views high-frequency communications as the missing link between an organization's strategy—its decisions about where to compete and how to win—and exceptional influencer advocacy that is the ultimate path to success and long-term engagement.  

With such a system, Caracal enables an organization to identify attractive target stakeholders and design value propositions tailored to those stakeholders’ needs -- maximizing an organization's strengths. It also allows the organization to deliver these offerings to the marketplace and continually refine them based on fast, reliable feedback.

Caracal leads client teams to create closed-loop feedback processes that bridge the functional gaps to keep a client in sync with the political environment. The ethos of using tactics that are agile, multi-touch, and iterative ensure an organization develops policy advocates. Nurturing happy, loyal policy advocates in this way ensures lasting success: Policy advocates engage more often, stick around longer, cost less to serve and sing the organization's praises to their friends, colleagues, and elected officials.

European Election 2019

The center-right European People's Party (EPP) and the center-left Socialists and Democrats (S&D) are set to remain the two largest blocs, but have lost seats to the center, left and nationalist right.

As we saw in the UK, the EU elections showed a shift away from centrist parties. The European Parliament has become more fragmented, which may complicate decision making in some areas.

  • Euroskeptic parties gained but didn't perform as well as some had expected.

  • Green parties emerge as big winners in European vote.

  • A wave of support for populists and Greens has disrupted centrist parties across the EU.
