Government communication that brings clarity
Government communication is a delicate balancing act. How do you make complex societal themes understandable? How do you reach diverse audiences without diluting your message? How do you make sure your communication doesn't just inform, but actually changes behaviour? At Umbau we find our way through that complexity.
We help governments and public organisations translate messages into clear, impactful communication. From awareness to behavioural change: we make it work.
Including a strategic plan, a creative twist and a healthy dose of pragmatism.
Oh, and a little victory dance when we cross the finish line together.

Proud of our work in government communication
From local authorities to federal administrations, from agencies to intermunicipal associations, from societal campaigns to policy communication: we have supported many government bodies with their communication challenges, large, complex and always socially relevant.

Clear government communication that actually works
Communication in the public sector takes more than a good idea. It takes a strategic foundation, creative translation and a workable approach. We help governments convey societal messages powerfully, including buy-in and lasting impact.
No woolly reports, but action-oriented strategies.
No campaigns without follow-up, but formats that live on.
No detached agency, but a partner who sits at the table with you.

This is why governments like working with us. Sound familiar?
Government communication is no walk in the park. You work with sensitive topics, diverse audiences and a multitude of internal and external stakeholders.
Umbau provides clarity, structure and results.
Your policy or campaign is solid in substance, but the message doesn't come across. We translate policy objectives into clear communication, matched to the language level, context and everyday world of your audience.
Different administrations, cabinets, partners or advisory boards: everyone needs to be involved, but no one can drop off. Umbau builds smart communication processes with speed and buy-in, even in stakeholder-heavy projects.
A plan was made at some point… but in the meantime there are new needs, other priorities and no time to activate it. We take that strategic plan by the hand and translate it into workable formats, concrete content and achievable action.
There are posters, videos, posts and folders… but does it feel like one story? Umbau ensures a strong visual and substantive thread, so every message comes across as recognisable and coherent, regardless of channel or sender.
The taskforce behind campaigns that land and stick
At Umbau we believe government communication only makes an impact when strategy, stakeholder insight and execution come together seamlessly.
That's exactly what you get with Bernard, Bert and Dries: three profiles, one rhythm, and a shared goal, bringing clarity to complexity.
Bernard is the driving force behind strategy and stakeholder management. He quickly senses where the sensitivities lie, keeps an overview in dynamic environments and makes sure every project moves forward, with buy-in.
Bert excels at unravelling complex structures. He reads policy, organisation and layers of governance like a second language, and knows how to bring different interests together into one shared story.
Dries pours the story into the right digital form. He makes sure a campaign not only gets the message right, but also scores on usability, conversion and consistency. Online, offline and everything in between.
They don't just think along, they act along. And they keep the pace up. Even when it gets politically sensitive, content-heavy or operationally complex.
