Invitation

Creating Value through Communication The political, social and economic turmoil of the past few years have given rise to a multifaceted discussion about values, ethics and the corresponding responsibilities of the communicator. As the European Association of Communication Directors we have engaged in this discourse on ethics in the communication landscape and the challenge of defining standards for our profession. For this year’s European Communication Summit, we are excited to be continuing this journey and will focus on exploring the theme of value-added communications.

For us as modern communicators, the question of value and values presents us with both challenge and opportunity.

Organisations increasingly recognise that societal challenges and corporate competitiveness are interlinked, and they understand that responsible business has a greater scope in society. Defining and communicating the corporate character is an important task in creating additional value for our organisations and for our profession. Our first Main Session will explore how communications can drive the authentic enterprise to create shared value and deliver real societal impact.

However, the new realities we face in the current economic climate pose further

challenges to our endeavour. With most European countries expecting little or no economic growth once again this year, numbers and financial results are pivotal.

Sometimes dismissed as a ‘soft’ discipline, PR and communications are usually the first to face budget cuts. Our second Main Session will debate how our work can be measured and evaluated and thus strategically be positioned at the forefront of an organisation’s structure.

Moreover, we will discover the value inherent in our peers, with over 60 speakers delivering insight into the state-of-the-art of our profession to over 600 expected participants. We envision the 7th European Communication Summit as a platform for exchange, debate and networking, as well as reflection on how modern communicators can strive for excellence in activating the corporate character to create and deliver value and public good. I am looking forward to welcoming you on June 27th and 28th in Brussels.

Herbert Heitmann President European Association of Communication Directors

The Summit Overview

June 27th, 2013 Summit Day One The seventh edition of the European Communication Summit will be moderated again by Karin Helmstaedt and will offer participants different formats to debate strategies, tools, methods and best practice within the field of communications. The highlights of day one will be our first keynote by Connie Hedegaard, a main session on “Translating Ethical Values into Economic Value”, and an interactive session on voice enhancement for all participants.

Gala European Communication Award The EACD board will once again present the European Communication Award during a gala ceremony in the evening of the first day of the Summit. All conference participants are invited to join the award presentation and celebrations that bring a festive conclusion to a busy day.

The Award ceremony is going to take place at Albert Hall Complex, Chaussée de Wavre 649651, Brussels.

During the Summit’s Main Sessions, a group of high-profile inspirational keynote speakers will engage in an interactive discussion with short impulse speeches, aided by several multimedia formats and facilitated by Summit moderator Karin Helmstaedt.

Participants are invited to take part in special summit workshops, given at the same time as the best case slots, but which will last for a full hour.

Join some of the top-level communications experts in the field to learn practical hands-on tools and lessons for opitimising your communication strategy.

Use this chance to bounce ideas with like-minded people, create quality relationships and strong connections. The sessions will be kicked-off by a short case introduction before you get the chance to discuss the latest controversial topics with your peers.

The moderator will first introduce the topic before guiding through the sessions.

The European Communication Summit will feature various keynotes on this year’s most interesting topics and trends. Confirmed for this year’s Summit is Tracy Corrigan, Editor-in-Chief of the Wallstreet Journal Europe, who will explore the challenges and opportunities for quality journalism in the changing media landscape.

Through a series of best cases from top-level communicators from various industries and organisations from across Europe, participants will be provided with a wide and informative view on the relevant issues in communications today.

Best case slots will be featured twice on each day of the programme – giving you the option to mix and match sessions.

Communicating successfully takes a lot more than a nice powerpoint, a suit or a good logo. We all know that to get our messages across takes a little finesse.

Through four personal skills workshops, participants can investigate the way they communicate with the world, and can learn some tips for presenting, speech, negotiation, and your career.

Communicating Sustainability as driver for change Connie Hedegaard European Commission

Born in 1960, Connie Hedegaard had already been working with climate issues for several years by the time she began her appointment as the EU’s first ever Commissioner for Climate Action in February 2010. In August 2004 she was appointed as Danish Minister for the Environment. In 2007 she was in charge of setting up the Danish Ministry of Climate and Energy, where one of the main tasks was to prepare the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen in December 2009.

What role for companies and public institutions in communicating climate and sustainability? Sustainable communications are sitting high up on the business agenda, sustainability is no longer only of interest to niche stakeholders. For European companies and institutions, that poses an intriguing opportunity of communicating sustainability to a large audience and a thorny problem of how to do that in an engaging, compelling manner.

Communicating sustainability: what next?

C-Suite Study

The EACD presents a joint research piece on the role and influence of CCOs The European Association of Communication Directors is delighted to present its latest research project, in cooperation with the University of Amsterdam and Russell Reynolds Associates: The Chief Communication Officer and the CSuite. This ambitious research project discusses the role of chief communication officers in executive committees. On the one hand, the questions of how many global companies reserve a seat in the C-Suite for a communication professional is examined, and on the other hand, it explores what

a chief communication officer needs to master to obtain a seat in the executive committee according to chief executive officers.

With this research project, the EACD joins an on-going debate about the growing role and influence of the communicator within modern organisations. The EACD invites you to discuss our findings and its implications on the future role of chief communication officers with the following experts:

Learning from the next generation of communicators

EACD Young ­Communicator’s Award

Young communicators from the digital native generation bring fresh ideas and new voices to the profession. The EACD aims to support young PR professionals by recognising innovative and creative projects in the field of communications.

Annabelle Atchison Social Media Manager Microsoft

It‘s an age-old quarrel between PR and marketing: who owns the company’s communications? The truth is, in the age of social media, it belongs to all, right down to every employee. Through that arises the need for a new kind of communication management. Will PR rise to the challenge? Or “die”, as a mere function within marketing? Microsoft Germany’s Social Media Manager Annabelle Atchison, whose roots are in PR, shows the steps Microsoft has taken to professionalise social media, and is looking for open discussion on where PR needs to move to survive.

I am a crisis: a surprising campaign with surprising results

Margaret O’Donnell Head of Digital British Red Cross

A few years ago, the British Red Cross recognised that, while they had a well recognised brand as an international humanitarian charity, many people didn’t know about all the services they provide in the UK. So they set out to correct that impression with an integrated brand campaign. A television advert wasn’t a traditional charity ad, provoking strong reactions online. Margaret O’Donnell will explore how the campaign succeeded in the ambition of increasing recall and relevance.

Marc Cloosterman CEO VIM Group Brand Implementation

Jackie Brock-Doyle, Director of Communications and public affairs at London 2012, describes winning the bid to host the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games in 2012 as “the greatest buzz of my career”. Learn how she and her team delivered this hugely challenging and complex project, the result of years of planning and the culmination of countless hopes and dreams - a truly unique communications and public affairs opportunity.

Marc will explore core insights he has gathered by advising multinational organisations. The session will be interactive and will demonstrate how to: • align brand promise with brand proof across touchpoints and media • increase consistency in brand experience across multiple touch points and senses • shorten the time to market • realise significant annual cost savings

Workshop

Getting results by aligning reputation insights with business strategy

Milorad Ajder Managing Director Ipsos MORI Reputation Centre

Maximising the value of reputation is clearly high on the corporate agenda and organisations are focused on developing evidence based strategies that will enable then to make the most of this strategic asset. The modern communications leader in many organisations now sits at the top table – participating in discussions and strategic planning that goes beyond the traditional realms of PR and Communications.

Bringing the voice of the stakeholder into the organisation is still a critical role but understanding the implications of what they have to say on business performance as well as license to operate guarantees the attention of key people across the organisation.

Campaigning outside the box Campaigning is the organized effort to influence decision making and shape public attitudes. It is an essential communications tool found in all sectors from public to private to political. Today‘s marketplace with its numerous information channels and social media networks had made campaigning both easy and inexpensive (anybody can create a blog and do it) but incredibly competitive. In order to stay ahead of the game, campaigns must seize the moment, involve key players in the debate and be supported by the Organisation’s wider communications’ strategy.

Moderator: Anthony Gooch Galvez, Director Public Affairs & Communications, OECD Having headed the the European Commission’s Media and Public Diplomacy operations in the UK as well as in the United States before becoming Director of Public Affairs & Communications at the OECD makes Anthony Gooch Galvez an expert when it comes to extraordinary PR campaigs.

The German city of Eberswalde is getting ready for the challenges of 2030

Organised by the Flemish Government, the Flemish Infoline provides citizens with a toll free telephone number to call for any government information they seek.

Change & cross-cultural communication: two sides of the same coin

Marie-Gabrielle Cajoly Corporate Head of Communications & CSR Addax Petroleum

The dynamics of organisational change and the successful acceptance of change by employees are deeply rooted in the recognition given to a set of cultural features: mainly language, personal and collective attitudes, behaviours, and values. The past decades have witnessed an explosion of M&As and subsequent growing interest in integration management strategies. In this presentation, Ms. Cajoly offers insights into a cross-cultural management programme implemented at Addax Petroleum Corporation after its acquisition by giant Sinopec - Chinese state-owned company and world‘s second largest oil refiner in order to transform itself and revamp its business culture by capitalising on its culturally diverse profile.

Communication changes The motoring industry is a very diverse and dynamic industry. This applies to the respective legislation, the product development as well as the customer requirements. Rigid communication patterns have long been replaced by continuously evolving message creation and usage of new communication channels. Communication has to adapt to changes – does it also drive changes?

Christoph Rust Manager European Product PR Honda Motor Europe Ltd.

Preparing the Strategic guidelines for 2030 in the city of Eberswalde (located 50 km north of Berlin) the challenges, projects and timetable are being discussed between the mayor and his administration, members of the city parliament and the citizens.

Translating Ethical Values into Economic Value

Karin Helmstaedt Moderator

As the business landscape is evolving, ethics obtains market value.

Successful business strategy is not solely concerned with numbers and profit, but must know and emphasise the enterprise’s value and authenticity; ethical principles are at the core of the corporate character. From compliance to internal communication, this fact cannot be neglected. Indeed, strengthening the link between business strategies and social practices has gained importance in modern management. And so has the practice of responding to an increasing recognition that societal challenges and corporate competitiveness are interlinked. This three-part session will explore how businesses can understand their purpose in society and shape their capabilities to deliver vast social impact and behavioural change creating shared value for the organisation and its stakeholders.

During the Summit’s Main Sessions, a group of high-profile inspirational keynote speakers will engage in an interactive discussion with short impulse speeches, aided by several multimedia formats and facilitated by Summit moderator Karin Helmstaedt.

Participants are invited to take part in special summit workshops, given at the same time as the best case slots, but which will last for a full hour.

Join some of the top-level communications experts in the field to learn practical hands-on tools and lessons for opitimising your communication strategy.

Use this chance to bounce ideas with like-minded people, create quality relationships and strong connections. The sessions will be kicked-off by a short case introduction before you get the chance to discuss the latest controversial topics with your peers.

The moderator will first introduce the topic before guiding through the sessions.

The European Communication Summit will feature various keynotes on this year’s most interesting topics and trends. Confirmed for this year’s Summit is Tracy Corrigan, Editor-in-Chief of the Wallstreet Journal Europe, who will explore the challenges and opportunities for quality journalism in the changing media landscape.

Through a series of best cases from top-level communicators from various industries and organisations from across Europe, participants will be provided with a wide and informative view on the relevant issues in communications today.

Best case slots will be featured twice on each day of the programme – giving you the option to mix and match sessions.

Communicating successfully takes a lot more than a nice powerpoint, a suit or a good logo. We all know that to get our messages across takes a little finesse.

Through four personal skills workshops, participants can investigate the way they communicate with the world, and can learn some tips for presenting, speech, negotiation, and your career.

Keynote Two

Quality Journalism in a Changing Media Landscape Tracy Corrigan Editor-in-Chief Wall Street Journal Europe

Tracy Corrigan is a business journalist with 20 years‘ experience of reporting and financial commentary in both London and New York. She is editor of the Wall Street Journal Europe and former assistant editor of the Daily Telegraph. She has also worked at Dow Jones newswires and the Financial Times where she worked as a reporter, New York correspondent, Lex writer, editor of FT.com, news editor and ultimately head of Lex.

Loss of advertising revenue and competition from social media are just two critical factors that have made the state of the media so precarious in recent years. Quality journalism needs resources, time and freedom from commercial interests, yet these are all under threat in the new media landscape. This session will explore the challenges and opportunities for journalism and the wider media. Tracy Corrigan will contribute to this session with 18 years of experience at the FT.

Creating value through communication With most business textbooks still granting the communications department no more than a sidekick role in the realm of marketing, it is not surprising that PR is often among the first targets of budget cuts. Communication is still dismissed by many as a soft discipline. Yet most organisations would agree that communication and dialogue with stakeholders is now more crucial than ever, given that we are living in a networked society. This three-part session will present insight into the power relations of the corporate structure and debate how an authentic communication enterprise can be positioned at the forefront of an organisation, with a focus on value creation through communication.

Communicating trade: how to keep your cool

Bernard Kuiten Head of External Relations World Trade Organization

Facing a diverse and often unpredictable audience has been at the heart of external communication at the World Trade Organisation. From business suits to people dressed up as turtles, everyone had a say and an opinion on international trade matters. But the tone and nature of the public discussion has changed: where it used to be wild, one-sided and polarised, it has become more technical and respectful. Why is that and what led to this sea change? How can we learn from this success, based on a mix of respect and trust, perseverance and patience.

Change demands ever changing communicationbang on time with the right instruments and for the right people. That is it. Or is it? Working for a company in a market that resembles a rough crossing with changing winds at shortest warning, Frank Hilgenfeld will discuss effective ways to communicate change internally and externally with a focus on extreme cultural differences, rapid changes in technology, market demands, product portfolio and politicians, too.
