THE COMPANY
My Client is a renewable energy organisation, currently undergoing rapid growth. It aims to help facilitate the energy transition demands of the UK and EU by developing and investing in large-scale solar and battery storage projects.
THE ROLE
With a plan to bring all PR and communications activity in-house – to cover all forms of media and communication – in order to build, maintain and manage the brand reputation, the hunt is on for a PR and Comms Manager.
The role will be focused on nurturing a strong industry network, increasing awareness and developing an enviable corporate image by developing and executing effective communication and media relations programs.
This will involve:
– Developing a PR and marketing communications plan including strategy, goals, budget, and tactics seeking high-level placements in print, broadcast, and online media across national, local and trade/specialist press
– Developing an ‘always on’ media relations strategy to deliver sustained engagement to build brand profile and leadership and develop a clear narrative to communicate the proposition, milestones, projects, partnerships and thought leadership through a multi-media approach.
– Developing an end-to-end communications strategy encompassing drafting media & digital content for target audiences, crafting strong narratives backed by evidence, engaging media to secure coverage and reach, communicating milestones and announcements and amplifying thought leadership & marketing activities.
– Delivering thought leadership opportunities, highlighting opportunities to showcase collaborations with partners, building digital presence and an online community and industry specific campaigns and targeted influencer engagement.
– Developing issue-led media hooks capitalising on issues that can provide a platform for media and social media engagement.
– Directing the social media team to engage audiences across traditional and new media.
– Leveraging existing media relationships and cultivating new contacts within business and industry media, managing all media inquiries and interview requests.
– Creating content for press releases, by-line articles and keynote presentations.
– Achieving targeted national, local and trade/specialist media coverage through corporate milestones to provide valuable touchpoints for media and social media to engage in key audiences.
This is a relatively new company – not a large corporate – but with an excellent pedigree of knowledge in the energy and sustainability sector. You will therefore need to have a hands on and flexible approach to your role!!
The role will report to the Head of Marketing and with a dotted line to the CEO and MD.
