Notice Information

Notice Title

International Public Relations Consultancy for Environment, Climate and Sustainability

Notice Description

At the University of Exeter we are already delivering outstanding research, education and partnerships to tip the scales towards positive change on the environment and climate emergency. In the years ahead we want to continue to raise the profile of our work through international media coverage and events to help foster new relationships, attract new investment and contribute to societal change. We want to work with a public relations consultancy to help deliver high quality international media coverage and raise the profile and visibility of Exeter's academics and work. We have made good progress over the past 12 months but need additional support and expertise to promote our work on the international stage, for example the Global Systems Institute to be known as one of the world's leading centres for climate solutions. We are looking to work with a public relations agency with a strong track record of environment and climate communications with exceptional media relations and events expertise who can position the University of Exeter effectively internationally to achieve maximum impact and profile for the University's work. We particularly want to focus our communications strategy on solutions and adaptations, utilising our knowledge and expertise to achieve transformational change. We also want the public relations strategy to help us attract new partners and investors to help us build our research and education capability. We have partnerships with top universities around the globe and those support our ten year University strategy which puts leading the fight against climate change and ecological crisis as a key strategic priority.
