4. Corporate & B2B Experience
We delivered a multi-faceted corporate communications and media
relations effort for Guardian Life Insurance. Using executive interviews, by-
lined articles and other tactics aimed at the trade media, we helped the
company build awareness among brokers and agents for its products and
strengthen its reputation as a home for career agents.
We worked with Swiss Re to promote its expertise in a wide range of
property & casualty issues, from natural disasters to climate change. Our
primary avenues for media outreach included a series of media lunches or
roundtables as well as interviews with single executives.
To highlight Wolters Kluwer Health expertise in health information and
related systems, we designed a media relations strategy that leveraged
executives and analysts to discuss trends in drug pricing, Medicare Part D,
electronic medical records and electronic prescriptions.
We helped Siemens Energy & Automation prepare a series of bylined
articles highlighting the results customers achieved after adopting an SE&A
solution. These articles were placed in trade magazines, or on companion
websites as white papers.
5. Change Management Experience
When Cox Communications decided to merge two large departments into a
single organization, we helped explain the change to Cox employees inside
the new organization as well as the business partners throughout the cable
system. We developed centralized messaging and voice guidelines that are
now being used in a communications program to increase understanding.
When AstraZeneca changed its selling model, we helped explain it to the
company’s sales force. We helped the company articulate a clear story on
why the change was necessary and the role sales people needed to play.
We used websites, newsletters, training tools, executive communications
and other materials to increase understanding of the change.
Throughout Schering-Plough’s turnaround in 2003 and 2004, we provided
strategic corporate and executive communications support for the leadership
of the company’s Global Pharmaceutical Business, including
presentations, speeches, memos and other messages designed to motivate
the workforce and drive a cultural change.
