Corporate Diplomacy Services
We understand the unique context of these regions where trust is the most critical currency. Our ability to advocate at the nexus of local business, government, policy, finance, and economic development is unparalleled. We execute innovative, dynamic campaigns that deliver results.
Strategic Advice
At Argus International, we advise our clients to embrace the long-term priorities of the regions in which they work. Effective relationships in these markets always focus on mutual benefit and alignment with national economic development priorities; truly strategic relationships must transcend the purely transactional. At Argus International, we have a deep understanding and experience in helping realize national imperatives. As a result, we are able to help our clients contextualize their brand equities in these markets.
Argus will also work with you to mitigate a wide variety of risks. For example, your country's strategy may include the need to form a joint venture or register as a wholly-owned local company. At other times it is advisable to refrain from forming such entities. We understand the many benefits and pitfalls of each option.
You may also have offset obligations or you may be facing other requirements for localization of production that may include significant local investment. All of these come with particular risks and solutions with which we have previous experience.
Business Development
From Fortune 50 corporations to fast-growing cybersecurity companies, Argus helps deliver profitable sales. The sales cycle is long here. Patience is critical but so is a cost-effective, persistent presence. Knowing the landscape as well as we do allows us to help our clients measure what actually matters and operate with much greater efficiency. We help compress the sales cycle with timely information, a keen understanding of how decisions are currently being made, who is making them, and strategic conversations with those key decision-makers.
Government Affairs
The unique nature of doing business in high-context societies such as Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Chile and our experience achieving long-term success in these markets has often led us to describe our work as corporate diplomacy. The work of negotiation, international relations, policy advice, and building lasting relationships based on mutual trust and benefit is the core work of diplomats across the globe.
Argus believes that the same focus and attention is required to build lasting relationships between corporations and governments that provide critical and impactful solutions to national priorities. As diplomats and leaders working in Latin America, we have dedicated our professional experience to building the types of relationships necessary to find common ground and shared priorities between partners.
