You won't be bored. If you love to work with people, the media, business issues, and top management, you'll find new kinds of challenges every day. Here are some key challenge areas:

Marketing Communications: Creating the Reputation

Your company's marketing department will take the lead in managing an advertising program. As a corporate communications professional, you'll work closely with them in establishing the overall corporate image. A well-managed brand identity touches every aspect of the company from logo to website, from packaging to facility look and feel.

Customer Service: Maintaining the Reputation

How will your customers experience your company? From invoicing to newsletters, from return policies to special customer recognition, your business communication skills are critical in building loyalty and sales.

Community Relations: Keeping Good Neighbors

To maintain community goodwill, your department is likely to be in charge of solving problems, managing special events, and giving tours. You may end up supervising charitable involvement, which can be especially satisfying.

Employee Communications: a Great Reputation Starts from Within

How do employees feel about their jobs, employer and customers? You're in charge of setting the tone and atmosphere as you oversee management of internal communications.

Media Relations: the Eyes of the World are upon You

You're in the hot seat preparing your company's public response to events, and generating good publicity. The corporate communications group typically handles press inquiries, and sets up interviews.

Investor Relations: Fortunes Made and Lost

Your group conducts analyst and shareholder relations, and oversees the annual report and annual meeting.

In recent years, as financial markets and public opinion change so quickly, corporate communications has become more important to almost every company. It's a great challenge.
