UK Communication Practices in Digital Democracy

Survey exploring how organisations use online and offline tools to engage stakeholders, shape public debate, and influence policymaking.

We’re reaching out to invite you to participate in a large-scale international research project spanning 10 countries across five continents. The study explores how organisations like yours use online and offline tools to engage stakeholders, shape public debate, and influence policymaking.

The project is led by Professor Anne Rasmussen (King’s College London and the University of Copenhagen) and is funded by the European Research Council.

As part of the study, we are conducting a short survey of associations and companies to better understand how they communicate with citizens and decision-makers—particularly through social media. In related research, we also examine how political messages from organisations (e.g., emotional, fact-based, or value-driven appeals) are received by policymakers and the public.

Our goal is to provide practical insights into which communication strategies are most effective today—knowledge we hope will benefit participating organisations in their efforts to reach both the public and decision-makers. We will prepare a short report summarising key findings, which we will share with participants.

We kindly invite a staff member with a broad overview of your organisation’s political and communication activities to complete the survey.

The survey takes approximately 10–15 minutes and all responses will be used solely for research purposes and remain strictly anonymous.
