Pikes Peak PRSA March Chapter Luncheon

Pikes Peak PRSA is proud to present "Integrated Communications Planning" by Mark Murphy from
The Colorado Springs Utilities Public Affairs Office.
Winner of the PRSA Silver Anvil Award!

In 2013, Colorado Springs Utilities implemented water restrictions to rebuild historically-low water supply and protect public safety and health. A communications program, a 2014 PRSA Silver Anvil winner, was designed to inform customers of restrictions and educate them on water’s role in our collective quality of life. Our March presenters will share how strategic communications (with an emphasis on the four-step PR planning process, collaboration, creativity and emerging media) influences behavior, impacts customer satisfaction and contributes to the achievement of operational goals.

      Presenters include:

Mark Murphy, APR, serves as manager of Customer and Workforce Communications for Colorado Springs Utilities. He is responsible for leading external and internal strategic communications to help meet operational goals and increase customer engagement and satisfaction. He has been with the municipal utility provider 18 years.
