In a landscape of information overload, strategic communications demand more than a “strategy”—they require meaningful connections. Our latest insights reveal how businesses can build trust through authentic, local engagement.?For those looking to thrive in?North Carolina’s evolving business ecosystem, proximity isn’t just a strategy; it’s an advantage.
Trust has a proximity problem. When big projects and institutions feel distant, skepticism fills the gap and opposition is quick to form. I’m making the argument that for businesses, this isn’t a challenge—it’s an opportunity. By prioritizing strategic, local public engagement, companies can bridge the trust gap, build a team of advocates, and move their initiatives forward before opposition gains ground. Those that hesitate may find themselves playing defense instead. If you read further, I’d be curious to know if you agree. How are you bridging the trust gap with your stakeholders?

North Carolina was recently ranked first in the nation for manufacturing investment opportunities, making our state one of the most competitive areas for business and operational expansion. However, a successful expansion into the #TarHeelState is not without its challenges. It takes careful planning and a deep understanding of public engagement—meaningful, two-way communication with key stakeholders, including local communities, government leaders, and industry groups, and embedding yourself into the very fabric of the communities you serve. Get the full picture by reading Harris Vaughan's latest blog here:?https://lnkd.in/g3JPJDfW. Or, reach?out to the E&V Strategic Communications team—we’re #ReadyToHelp. #TopStateForManufacturing #PublicEngagement?

In her latest LinkedIn post, Managing Partner McGavock Edwards, APR, shares practical insights on why trust matters and how to cultivate it.

New year, same question: is your company’s reputation on solid ground? If building trust with your stakeholders wasn’t a priority in 2024—the answer might be no. Trust builds loyalty, it mitigates risks, and lays the foundation for growth and resilience. We’ve seen firsthand how companies that prioritize trust don’t just survive—they thrive, in the face of opportunity AND opposition. That’s the kind of strategic advantage we’re helping our clients with in 2025—and we’d love to help you too! If trust isn’t a priority for your organization yet, let me convince you why it should be…

Infrastructure isn't just about bridges and roads—it's about building trust, overcoming challenges, and enabling progress. At E&V, we work alongside business, community leaders, and project stakeholders to navigate these complexities.

Curious about what it takes to get projects approved and built today? Check out Preston Davenport's latest LinkedIn article: https://lnkd.in/gJTcfBbb
We’re well-known at E&V for our strategic communications expertise, but our work over the years has also positioned us as trusted advisors for businesses navigating complex local dynamics– many of which revolve around infrastructure development. The goals and priorities for infrastructure updates are often widely agreed upon, but translating consensus into action has become a daunting task. What we’ve found at E&V? Public engagement is no longer an optional step in the development process—it’s an essential one. If you agree—or aren’t sure, but know you need help with community trust and buy-in—I’d love to jump on a call with you. Our team has been doing some exciting work in preparation to help you navigate these challenges in 2025.

Wow, what a week! While traveling for business, my phone was blowing up with alerts -- texts, LinkedIn comments, connection requests and more. Thank you all for your encouragement; it means so much. Now, it seems appropriate for me to share... E&V is a different organization now than when I first came onboard almost ten years ago, but its commitment to the values that define our culture, leadership, and client success remains. It’s a commitment that prioritizes people over profit, product, or process. In my experience, focusing on people is what matters most and has the greatest impact on the rest. Investing in and walking alongside our E&V team—so they’re empowered to do the same for our clients—is a privilege I won’t ever take for granted. I’m thrilled that as managing partner that privilege continues. Here’s to the next decade of opportunity and growth!
