Managing lobbying activities can often feel fragmented and difficult to track. Amidst numerous meetings and various projects, it’s easy to lose sight of where your efforts have been focused and which contacts have been the most significant. To address this challenge, we at Lobster have developed a new summary report that provides a clear overview of your lobbying activities.

Key Features of the Summary Report

The new summary report helps you analyse the most important aspects of your lobbying work and focus on what truly matters. With this report, you can see:

• Where has your lobbying been directed? Has there been balanced contact with all relevant political parties and organisations?
• Who has been met? The report shows which political stakeholders and officials have been contacted.
• Which projects have been the most active? You’ll get a clear understanding of which projects have seen the most activity and focus.

In addition, the report offers time frames for review on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis, allowing you to track trends in how your activity has developed over different periods. This way, you can compare the level of lobbying activity with previous periods to identify any changes.

Highlight Key Stakeholders with the VIP Tag

One of the most exciting new features is the ability to use VIP tags. This functionality allows you to highlight stakeholders who are particularly important to your organisation. These may be individuals with whom contact is less frequent but of greater significance. By using the VIP tag, you can ensure that no high-level contact gets lost amidst broader lobbying efforts, keeping them clearly visible in the reporting.

We’re Developing Lobster Based on Your Feedback

This is just the first version of the summary report, and we are eager to improve it to better meet the needs of our users. We welcome feedback and suggestions so that we can make the report an even more useful tool for tracking and guiding lobbying efforts.

Conclusion

Lobster’s new summary report helps you gain a clearer understanding of where your lobbying efforts have been directed, who has been met, and which projects have been the most active. With the VIP tag feature, you can ensure that important contacts don’t get lost in the mass of lobbying activities. We’re excited to launch this first version and hope it provides you with valuable insights to support your lobbying work.
