Communication Infrastructure Project

One of our mandates for a South German energy group is to communicate a large infrastructure project to citizens and politicians. On the basis of a comprehensive stakeholder analysis, stakeholder management as well as the information material we create, we work with our client to ensure acceptance among the population and the support of local multipliers.

Communication concept “Sustainability” for the Deutsche Bahn

We created a comprehensive communication concept for the company’s diverse activities in the area of environmental protection. The key challenge was to develop innovative ideas on how to make the sustainability projects of the Deutsche Bahn, from noise mitigation to CO2-free stations, much more visible thus improving the reputation of the whole group.

The communication concept takes a 360-degree approach which includes concrete measures across all stakeholders and all communication formats (digital, analogous, cross-medial).

Political and PR Consultancy for the Consumer Goods Industry

We provide comprehensive communication consultancy with regard to political decision-makers and societal interest groups for a well-known company in the consumer goods industry which is based in Hamburg, Germany.

Moreover, we support the company in its media relations, in the development and implementation of new PR formats as well as in the operative media relations work on the level of the top and leading national and regional media.

Online Communication for Political Parties

We help position the CDU parliamentary group in the national media as well as providing support in questions relating to digital communication trends. Examples of online reports:

Spiegel
FOCUS
N-TV

Social Media B2B

We advise and help alimex, a leading company in the production of high-precision aluminium cast plates, to develop and maintain online communication channels for the B2B area (Facebook). Furthermore, we supervised the conceptual and technical relaunch of the website.

We continue to help the company place its themes in regional and national media as well as in the trade press (Rheinische Post, WELT, Deutsche Welle, Prozesswärme).

Launch Campaign: CO2-neutral Product

We supervised PR activities surrounding the launch of the first CO2-neutral fuel oil for the AVIA group, an association of middle-sized energy service providers. The press conference was flanked by executive board interviews in large German daily newspapers and comprehensive regional reporting in more than 60 communication media. This included reports in the FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) and the SWP(Südwest Presse).

Content on Complex Economic and Environmental Issues

We provide political interviews, reports on current legislative projects, interesting studies and new trends and developments for several industry magazines. We draw on our many years of expertise in complex economic and environmental issues, our location in the House of the Federal Press Conference in the middle of the government district of Berlin and our extensive network in politics and editorial offices.

Press Work for Energy Issues

We helped FNB Gas to address important stakeholders in politics and the media and flanked these measures by networking with multipliers in order to make politicians and the general public more aware of the performance capability of the gas infrastructure with regard to the security of supply as well as its significance and potential for the energy transition.

Our responsibilities include the continual monitoring of current developments in politics and society as well as (trade) press work, drafting political papers as well as the creation and support of political events.

Press Workshops – Rules of Conduct in a Crisis

We conduct, among other things, press workshops for a range of companies which are aimed at better preparing managing directors and plant managers for dealings with the media in the event of a crisis. The one-day training also includes, alongside technical issues surrounding press work, a TV coaching to prevent the reputation of the entire corporate brand from being damaged by ambiguous statements made during a crisis.

Digital Policy Letter for Companies

We conceived a digital policy letter for a large company in the energy sector which helped decision-makers in politics, media and economic affairs to be reached digitally. Content on relevant topics is developed and displayed regularly on the mobile devices of the target group.

Communication Support and Networking

We support VELUX the leading company for roof windows and ventilation concepts with 10,000 employees world-wide with the political and medial communication of a study on housing satisfaction. Alongside winning first-rate keynote speakers and guests from the areas of politics, federations and civil society, this includes moderation of the event and PR work.

Environmental Communication for Associations

We supervised communication surrounding the publication of the new ecological balance on behalf of the Fachverband Kartonverpackungen für flüssige Nahrungsmittel e.V. [Trade Association for Cardboard Packaging for Liquid Foodstuffs]. This study was drafted by the Institut für Energie- und Umweltforschung in Heidelberg (IFEU).

This study attested that in comparison with other packaging, beverage cartons have a favourable ecological balance. More than 320 communication media reported on the new study, including for example: WELT and Handelsblatt.

In addition, we supported the association with further communication projects. This included, for example, the creation of print materials or search engine optimised web texts.

“I met Ms Köttker two years ago. We have since cooperated closely with her and her team on our communication strategy and our social media. From the start, we were all impressed by her expertise, her formidable network and her extremely rapid reaction time with regard to urgent enquiries. Actually, the amount we managed to get done in a short period of time is almost record-breaking. But I also enjoy discussions with Ms Köttker beyond our project work.”

“Ms Köttker’s network especially in the area of environmental policy is considerable, yes, almost unique. Moreover, with its inside knowledge, the agency provided decisive impulses for the creation of a new communication strategy on behalf of the association.”

“The Köttker Kommunikation team came to grips with our complex subject matter within a minimum of time and allowed the voice of our association to be heard by the media and politicians. In our collaboration, we value, above all, the strategic-structural approach as well as the reflection of our own processes which contributes to the continual development of our communication structures.”
