My Company is Celebrating a Milestone Anniversary this Year

Whether your utility is celebrating 25 years of service or is approaching the century mark, landmark anniversaries provide opportunities to write your history and tell your own story — a story that cultivates loyalty and trust within your customers and establishes your company’s history and weaves it into the fabric of the region you serve.

Crisis Communications

Major Outage / Crisis

You are on the front lines of restoring critical functions (and a sense of normalcy) to your communities in the aftermath of an outage or crisis. As such, you know the importance of a good plan. But even the best plans cannot account for every possibility. There are times when an event is so catastrophic that you’re left searching for ways to adequately communicate in the midst of it — and to document it afterwards.
