We have traditionally done so in response to current events (proxy battles, the financial crisis, and the Toyota recall, to name a few), but in this instance were inspired to take a broader look at the energy industry which, despite well-funded and spirited public outreach campaigns, cannot shake the vestiges of lingering, often negative, public perception. In this memorandum, Perry Street assesses the state of play for the energy industry in this regard, examines what’s worked and what has not, and provides a roadmap for the future. The findings are not intended to provide definitive answers, but rather to anticipate areas of improvement and provoke thought. We hope you benefit from the research and perspective. Jon Morgan President, Perry Street Communications [email protected] (214) 965-9955 Innovation Unnoticed: Moving the Needle on Energy Public Relations Introduction In the world of our fathers, oil industry executives operated in small but influential circles where personal relationships, often cultivated outside the glare of public view, were the foundation upon which many an empire was built. Those days are long gone, of course, replaced by the often frenetic digital community that has transformed business and political cultures across the globe. With its insistence on transparency, access and immediate accountability, CEOs and world leaders ignore these dynamics at their own peril.

Renkus-Heinz STX Series Speakers The Arena modernized its sound system prior to the Thunder’s 2016-17 season with the Yamaha CL3 Digital Mixing Console first large scale deployment of Fulcrum’s CS121 passive cardioid subwoofers and the NBA’s first permanent installation of EAW’s Anya adaptive-array system. Designed by Marsh/ PMK’s Jerrold Stevens and installed by Ford AV, the advanced technology audio solution gives the Oklahoma City Thunder a sound to match their name. Challenges “The sound system needed excellent intelligibility, fidelity, output and bandwidth to enhance the overall fan experience and become more competitive with other NBA arenas, ” Stevens explains. Solution “Cardioid was a huge factor in the arena design,” Stevens says. “Vertical subwoofer arrays are ideal for providing smooth coverage to the seating bowl and keeping sound energy off the floor. However, the large centrally located scoreboard precluded any loudspeakers directly over center court. Forced to hang subwoofer arrays around the scoreboard’s perimeter, I knew cardioid patterns were necessary to minimize interference between arrays.” Stevens was familiar with Fulcrum’s passive cardioid line array modules and their ability to eliminate excessive rear low frequency radiation without requiring additional drivers, amplifiers or signal processing channels.
