Public Affairs-
Survey 2015
For the 14th consecutive year, we asked public affairs
professionals in Germany to evaluate the political
status quo and tell us about the latest developments in
the public affairs sector. The following is a summary of
the key results of this year’s survey:
Confidence in
politics restored
Following a notable dip in the first year of the Grand
Coalition (22 per cent), confidence in politicians and
their actions bounced back this year, with 39 per cent of
respondents saying that politicians were ‘reliable part-
ners’. Christian Democrats received the greatest vote
of confidence. 89 per cent of respondents considered
their relationships with the CDU to be ‘constructive’.
Government’s approval
ratings improve
Similarly, confidence in the Grand Coalition’s per-
formance went up. 57 per cent said that the Federal
Government was doing a ‘good job’, an improvement
of 14 per cent on last year. Especially the Government’s
foreign trade policy, which includes TTIP, was rated
favourably by public affairs professionals. Opposition
parties (i. e. Greens and Left Party), on the other hand,
were given negative ratings.
Public affairs spending
goes up
Corporations and trade associations increased their
spending on public affairs in the past 12 months. 39
per cent spent more on public affairs personnel, while
45 per cent increased their spending on external
service providers, including consulting work. Of these,
more than half favoured full-service consultancies with
a strong public affairs offering, as opposed to public
affairs only outfits or law firms.
Digital public affairs
continues to grow
The use of social media is becoming even more com-
monplace in public affairs. 52 per cent of respondents
use Twitter, while 36 per cent rely on Facebook, 29 per
cent on the German-centric career platform Xing, and
25 per cent on its international counterpart LinkedIn.

MSLGROUP Germany Public Affairs Survey 2015

  • 2. For the 14th consecutive year, we asked public affairs professionals in Germany to evaluate the political status quo and tell us about the latest developments in the public affairs sector. The following is a summary of the key results of this year’s survey: Confidence in politics restored Following a notable dip in the first year of the Grand Coalition (22 per cent), confidence in politicians and their actions bounced back this year, with 39 per cent of respondents saying that politicians were ‘reliable part- ners’. Christian Democrats received the greatest vote of confidence. 89 per cent of respondents considered their relationships with the CDU to be ‘constructive’. Government’s approval ratings improve Similarly, confidence in the Grand Coalition’s per- formance went up. 57 per cent said that the Federal Government was doing a ‘good job’, an improvement of 14 per cent on last year. Especially the Government’s foreign trade policy, which includes TTIP, was rated favourably by public affairs professionals. Opposition parties (i. e. Greens and Left Party), on the other hand, were given negative ratings. Public affairs spending goes up Corporations and trade associations increased their spending on public affairs in the past 12 months. 39 per cent spent more on public affairs personnel, while 45 per cent increased their spending on external service providers, including consulting work. Of these, more than half favoured full-service consultancies with a strong public affairs offering, as opposed to public affairs only outfits or law firms. Digital public affairs continues to grow The use of social media is becoming even more com- monplace in public affairs. 52 per cent of respondents use Twitter, while 36 per cent rely on Facebook, 29 per cent on the German-centric career platform Xing, and 25 per cent on its international counterpart LinkedIn.
