Who we are
Hilltop Public Affairs (formerly Nicola Hill Strategies) was founded in 2017 by long time political strategist and community leader Nikki Hill.
For 6 years after, Nikki was a partner and top national client lead at one of Canada's largest public affairs firms. In 2024, Nicola Hill Strategies was relaunched to offer a collaborative approach to government relations, working with our clients as valued partners in addressing complex policy dynamics.
After an exciting year, we have rebranded to Hilltop Public Affairs as we add team members across the country.
Our team is as committed to achieving your goals as your team is, making us your trusted partners.
We build your capacity to deliver on public affairs and policy goals, engage government, and navigate your team and organization through every challenge that appears.
Our Services
Public Affairs Advisory Services
Clients engage our team for public affairs advice ranging from short term projects to long term support. We work closely with you to build the right package to deliver on your goals, hone your policy and funding proposals, and communicate effectively with decision makers.
We are constantly assessing the political environment to ensure your strategies reflect the current political landscape, helping you build long term relationships, and working in partnership with you to advocate to government.
Public Affairs Blueprint
Engage our team to build a public affairs plan for rollout by your internal team with our Public Affairs Blueprint package.
The Blueprint will serve as a roadmap for focusing your public policy and engagement strategy, providing a strategic public affairs plan that clearly articulates policy priorities and builds out tangible, measured policy efforts.
Workshops and Training Programs
Advocacy to government by stakeholders - and citizens - is key to the democratic process. There’s a benefit to governments of all types - and all partisan stripes - for stakeholders to be solutions focused and align strategic priorities with their lobbying goals.
We offer workshops to expand and strengthen your capacity to run internal government relations and lobbying programs no matter the team size. With extensive experience delivering training across sectors, our team will customize training sessions that meet your organization’s needs.
