Ellen Carey, VP of communications for the trade group Securing America's Future Energy, has moved to Audi of America to manage corporate communications and pitch the company's advanced technology like electric and self-driving cars.
Carey takes the role of senior manager, innovation and corporate comms., and will promote Audi's work in automated driving, electric vehicles and connected cars, among other technology.
Prior to SAFE, she handled media relations for the American Wind Energy Association.
In addition to corporate comms., Carey also handles internal and dealer communications. She reports to VP and chief communications officer Jeri Ward.
Senior-most communications executives in the Fortune 500 earned between $50,000 and $100,000 more this year than they did two years ago, according to a recent survey of chief communications officers.
The pressure is on PR pros to make sure corporate messaging remains clear and cohesive. Business jargon is an obstacle to achieving this goal.
In today's volatile world of constant disruption, the ability to offer reliability and dependability is more valuable than ever.
