Our story
The Agenda Group was launched in Melbourne in 2006 by James McGarvey, with Damian Mannix joining in 2008.
Damian and James realised organisations were struggling to access high-quality, tailored support when navigating complex challenges.
Over the years The Agenda Group has grown and expanded its service offering.
Hundreds of satisfied clients stand testament to our commitment to work in partnership to deliver your agenda.
Our unique approach
Too often, organisations seeking advice on political engagement, policy reform or advocacy were presented with ‘one size fits all’ responses from existing firms. There was a better way — and the ‘TAG team’ approach was born.
For each client, The Agenda Group assembles a bespoke team of experienced consultants, tailored to their goals. Clients have direct access to all members of the team.
