This was achieved by collaborating closely with their in-house communications team to engage with a select group of journalists. The focus was on CAT-A publications, and long-format pieces that comprehensively captured the messaging on Digitalization. The first Siemens Innovation Day held in India was also leveraged to garner high-impact stories in prominent financial, mainline and trade publications.
