The Future of Communications and Public Relations in Energy

Sept. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- The reputation and image of a company is crucial to secure future investment and maintain public support but this can only be achieved with a cogent and effective communications strategy. But with the advent of social media and round-the-clock news, the challenge of controlling and managing a company's message is becoming increasingly difficult.

SMi Group's inaugural Future Communications and PR for the Energy Sector conference will bring together leading communications and media relations experts to examine methods of improving communication strategies and guide the industry through the PR minefield.

The importance of getting the right message across at the right time is vital in managing the public relations and corporate challenges that the sector faces and can also assist in influencing public perception and improving brand awareness but can only be achieved with a cogent and effective communications strategy.

Future Communications and PR for the Energy Sector offers personnel from across the energy sector responsible for communications, marketing, PR and digital media the opportunity to the practical advice and tips from those who have successfully implemented communications, social media and stakeholder engagement projects in the energy. This event is unique in the sense that it brings together the practical lessons learnt from both the utilities sector and oil and gas industry and includes case studies from both major infrastructure projects through to national press relations strategies.

Future Communications and PR for the Energy Sector will take place on Wednesday 21st - Thursday 22nd September at the Grange Holborn Hotel in London.
