Theme 2 | Peter Hajek

Public Affairs and Opinion Research

Public affairs and opinion research

Public affairs and lobbying are often mistaken for networking in Austria. However, successful public affairs activities are based upon a broad analysis of the initial situation and the knowledge about political processes. Contacts and relationship management are only a small part of good lobbying.

In March 2007 Peter Hajek set up his own company with Kovar & Köppl public affairs consulting.  Previously he led the field of political and social research at the OGM Opinion Research Institute. In addition to being a political consultant, Peter Hajek has taught at universities in Vienna and Klagenfurt. His consulting activities have take him to, among other places, New York and the United Nations.
