The Mandate Story
We're Mandate.
We help progressives tell their story,
in service of their strategy, as informed by data.
Mandates are shaped by voters, campaigns and civil society alike. They are an expression of the people’s will, a promise by those seeking to govern and an instruction from voters to change our countries for the better.
​
A mandate is also a reminder that politics must be about what we are for, not just who we are against. When we seek, earn, understand and fulfil that mandate we win not only elections but change our countries.
In 2025, we have worked in ...
26 countries.
10 general and regional elections.
Europe, Eurasia, North America, Australia.
Research for stories and strategy
Mandate is a data, research and strategy consulting firm for organisations, political campaigns and leaders. We bring insight and experience from across Europe (and beyond) and in all stages of the political cycle, together with the latest techniques from winning campaigns. You won't just work with our analytics team but with our network of campaign professionals from across the world.​
​
Based in London, Mandate has staff throughout Europe and the US and can consult in English, Spanish, French, Polish, German, Swedish, Finnish and more. Our methodologies and strategies have been refined through scores of research waves and campaigns. Our research is integrated with our guidance on strategy, communications, and tactics. We help you understand your mandate, craft a resonant story, and then tell it.
