NEEA is a unique organization where utilities in the Northwest pool their resources and work collaboratively to implement region-wide energy efficiency programs. C+C has been NEEA’s corporate communications agency since 2006, working to help them define and communicate key messages to their stakeholders. This work includes developing communications plans and strategy, defining messages, training stakeholder groups, creating materials and helping to continually gather and incorporate feedback into communications efforts. Major milestones in 2008 have included the re-design of the NEEA website, completion of a set of case studies that illustrate the value NEEA brings to the region, workshops with their contractor base to gather input into NEEA corporate communications activities, design of their annual report and a recent op-ed placement in The Seattle Times.
