    2 Perry Street Communications Perry Street Communications Insights Innovation Unnoticed: Moving the Needle on Energy Public Relations 3131 McKinney Avenue, Suite 535 Dallas, TX 75204 214-965-9955 To Our Clients and Friends: From time to time, Perry Street Communications offers commentary and perspective on financial and corporate communication matters. 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.
