EPRIndustry & Infrastructure

Automotive, defense, and energy are three sides of the same communications problem: capital-intensive companies, long product cycles, heavy regulation, and audiences that include regulators, investors, suppliers, and the public at the same time. A recall, a contract award, a rate case, or a plant announcement all move the same levers — political, financial, and reputational — and all of them now get summarised by AI engines before a reader ever reaches a press release.

This desk covers the communications work behind the industrial economy: EV and mobility launches and their recall playbooks, defense primes and the venture-backed defense-tech wave, utilities and renewables developers operating under climate policy and permanent crisis exposure, and the agencies and in-house teams that serve them.
