Aerospace and Defence

The aerospace and defence sector is, naturally, fraught with risk. With the astronomical costs of R&D and production intertwined with issues of national security, foreign policy, multi-billion-dollar weapons deals and high value employment opportunities, the industry brings with it serious scrutiny and pressure. As defence spending has fallen in traditional markets and risen in others, defence manufacturers must adapt quickly and embrace new technologies.

Communications in the Aerospace and Defence sector is tricky. Reputation management, vis-à-vis both governments and local stakeholders, is paramount. CSR (corporate social responsibility) can be an important tool for an industry that is often perceived as distant from the general public; CSR can build bridges between a disenchanted public unhappy with the much-maligned ‘military-industrial complex’. Event support to CSR requires a communications specialist; a safe pair of hands with real sector experience. That’s us.
