AgustaWestland
Situation Analysis
The U.S. subsidiary of AgustaWestland needed to shed its image as a “foreign” company to be more competitive in the United States. CRC was engaged to develop and execute a communications program that would reposition the company’s brand.

Strategy & Implementation
Market analysis showed it was critical to highlight the extensive amount of manufacturing that AgustaWestland does in the United States and the positive impact it has on local economies across the nation. CRC developed and executed a multi-faceted campaign to educate the media, government decision makers, and the public. The campaign included events highlighting the high caliber U.S. jobs created, media tours, and desk side briefings with the company’s president, as well as op-eds placed in major daily newspapers of targeted regions.

Results
Some of the coverage which resulted from this campaign included articles in the Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Investor’s Business Daily, Associated Press, Reuters, Philadelphia Inquirer, and the San Diego Business Journal. Recently, AugustaWestland was awarded the prestigious contract to build the President’s newly designed Marine One helicopter.
