In this episode of PR in the Real World, Harry Bradshaw, Communications Manager at the Centre for Social Justice, explains how think tanks turn research into real political influence.

Harry takes us inside the SW1 'bubble', revealing how data, media coverage and strategic communications help push policy ideas onto the national agenda. Harry shares how attention-grabbing statistics, journalist relationships and targeted engagement with MPs can move issues from reports to Parliament.

Packed with practical lessons, Harry also shares how PR professionals can better influence policymakers by making life easier for time-poor politicians.

Harry is running the London Marathon in aid of Power2 - a CSJ charity. Power2 work in school's across the country to give students the support and guidance they need to reach their potential. You can donate, here: http://2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/harry-bradshaw
