The Earnscliffe advantage
Earnscliffe is a highly agile company. Amid political, economic and social volatility, this allows us to respond and adapt to change and deliver more responsive customized solutions for your rapidly shifting landscapes and challenges.
In addition to our dedicated research team, everyone across the organization engages in research daily. It’s part of our corporate DNA. It ensures our work is always underpinned by unique knowledge, insight and intelligence — and we are positioned to consistently get it right.
Our purpose-built teams have a proven track record of delivering strategies that successfully navigate specific challenges and set our clients up for success. While no two situations are the same, our adaptable approach leads to outcomes that help you achieve your objectives.
Key areas of expertise
Earnscliffe has a breadth of expertise that we draw on to put together the right team for your needs. Traditionally, our expertise has been categorized into three core areas.

Government relations
We provide strategic counsel that positions you with effective solutions for government. Our team members have worked in senior political and governmental roles, so we understand the process, the players, the inputs, and the timing of public policy development — and we can help you do the same.

Communications + digital
We curate content designed to resonate with your key audiences and connect with them using the most relevant platforms. Combining communications expertise with a deep understanding of your environment, we can develop a focused strategic approach that aligns with your desired outcomes.

Opinion research
We have an embedded team comprised of some of Canada’s most respected researchers. Leveraging research to drive quality strategic advice, we have an exceptional track record of delivering clear and actionable recommendations that go above and beyond expectations. Let us put it to work for you.
