The Research Challenge
Expanding a public administration consultancy into a new geographic market is rarely straightforward. The Costa del Sol region spans multiple municipalities, each operating under its own administrative structure with distinct departments, budgets, and decision-making processes. For a firm trying to identify and engage the right stakeholders, that fragmentation creates a real bottleneck.
The client came to us without a clear picture of who to contact, how organizations were structured, or where their services would be most relevant. They needed a database — not just a list of names, but a usable, verified contact resource that could actually drive outreach.
How We Approached the Work
Helion360 started by defining the scope of research: which municipalities fell within the client's target area, what types of public bodies were relevant to their service offering, and which roles within those organizations held actual purchasing or advisory authority.
From there, we worked through official public sector directories, municipal websites, government transparency portals, and institutional publications to surface verified contacts. Every record was reviewed for accuracy and relevance before being added to the database. We organized everything by geographic zone and organization type, giving the client's team a structure they could actually navigate and prioritize.
Our business research services and strategic research services formed the backbone of this engagement — the kind of methodical, source-verified research that produces data worth acting on.
What We Delivered
The final database covered public administration bodies across the Costa del Sol region, with structured records that included verified contact details, job titles, departmental context, and organizational classification. The client received a clean, export-ready file organized in a way that made segmentation and outreach planning immediate.
What had previously been an undefined landscape became a mapped, actionable resource. The firm could now approach regional authorities with confidence, knowing they were reaching the right people with relevant context behind every interaction.
