In a highly competitive and rapidly shifting market, we help organisations in the energy sector to shape policy, protect reputation and communicate with impact.
Energy is a sector full of innovation, competition and regulation – rapidly changing and evolving, and becoming ever more complex in the process.
At the same time, energy is in the spotlight like never before, with increasing political and media scrutiny around security, cost and carbon, as the sector manages geopolitical pressures whilst driving the societal transition to net zero and clean tech.
In this context, organisations working in energy sector require an expert communications partner to cut through complexity, maximise opportunities and navigate a terrain filled with potential pitfalls.
PLMR’s award-winning energy practice works with organisations across the sector to deliver communications with impact across our integrated service offer.
