Embedded within the Caltex project team over 6 months, Reputation Edge coordinated internal resources for the development of key messaging and strategies for stakeholder groups including staff, investors, state, local and federal governments, media and the general public. In parallel with the Refinery Review project, Reputation Edge also developed the repositioning framework for Caltex after the announcement.
Results
The project was a textbook case study in clearly communicating the reasons behind a major decision whilst preserving corporate reputation with key stakeholders including government, investors, staff, and suppliers.
