CGIAR

The Challenge: CGIAR is the largest publicly funded agricultural research network in the world, and Marchmont has conducted media outreach on their behalf since 2013, through press offices, media retainers, opinion articles and targeted media campaigns.

Our Approach: To advance this work, Marchmont:

  • Led media planning and outreach, aligning CGIAR’s work to the external news agenda – from climate change and migration to Covid-19.
  • Accurately and sensitively translated relevant scientific topics into more media-facing pitches and commentary.
  • Supported CGIAR around key events including Climate Week, the UN climate talks and the World Food Prize, as well as key launches of CGIAR initiatives such as their Crops to End Hunger initiative and their Covid-19 Hub.

Outcomes:
