GökÅŸen ÇALIÅžKAN
​​Who am I?​
​
I am a policy communications consultant working at the intersection of news media and public affairs within the European Union ecosystem.
​
With over 15 years of experience, I have held roles that combine leadership in strategy, B2B business development, product design, PA and PR campaign management.
​​​
How can I help you?​​
​
I help organisations with their policy communications and media relations strategies. I also provide training and consultancy in three key areas:
​
-
News media trends and effective strategies for engaging with journalists
-
Building and structuring business development teams
-
Networking (particularly for introverts)
​
​
What is my approach?​
​​
I approach each project by blending my experience in news media and public affairs with business rigor. My focus is on bridging the gap between public affairs and policy communications, ensuring that messages are not only well-crafted but also effectively delivered and distributed.
​
Whether it's a training session, panel moderation, or drafting a policy communications strategy, I start by deeply understanding the "why" and "who"—which then help shape the "what" and "how."
​
I provide tailor-made solutions with a personal touch, adapting to each client's and project's unique needs.
When a broader skillset is required, I tap into my extensive network of independent communication professionals to bring together the right team for the project.
