economic, social, climate, and public health issues dominate our news media, weighing on people’s minds and affecting how we think about the world around us.
large organizations have had to wrestle with these important issues from an operational and a communications perspective, as they determine how best to share information and communicate on a host of issues to both their employees and external audiences.
entergy’s corporate communications department was up to the challenge and has been recognized for recent work by several leading communications and public relations industry associations.
“when our communities were challenged due to the covid-19 pandemic, we helped share critical information with our customers, communities and other key stakeholders, informing audiences about entergy’s purposeful efforts to invest locally during the resulting economic downturn and the results of targeted spending with certified minority, veteran and women-owned businesses,” said rob hatley, group vice president of corporate communications.
the team’s work to inform and educate the public around these and other issues during the pandemic, referred to as the continuous connections campaign, generated more than 33 million impressions, 80,000 engagements, and saw a 20% increase in engagement compared to its benchmark data for previous social media campaigns.
