OUR ROLE

Fuzion is the main communications partner providing extensive strategic communications support across social media, strategy development, 24/7 crisis communications, reputation management, PR, event management, public affairs, graphic design, internal comms strategy and planning, stakeholder engagement, social media strategy, training and management, website SEO, content creation and media training.

Fuzion offers a press office function for the Port of Cork Company, handling all media queries in a timely and efficient manner and drafting holding statements as necessary. We have also worked on many high profile and reputation strengthening activities – such as the Official launch of the €94 million Cork Container Terminal at Ringaskiddy, the launch of the ‘Port Masterplan 2050’, annual announcements for the return of the Cruise season, new routes and partnerships with key stakeholders, MoU signings, CSR initiatives and Awards as well as many internal communications activities and events.

From a corporate affairs perspective, Fuzion works closely with the PoCC senior management team to ensure they are well briefed on their operating environment, on relevant Government policies and we offer advice on how to feed into the legislative process. Part of our remit includes the preparation and implementation of corporate affairs strategies across key areas including renewable energy and energy security, all with the underpinning objective to position PoCC as the key seaport in the South of Ireland.

Since working with the Port of Cork Company in November 2021, Fuzion has garnered 668 pieces of positive media coverage, worth over €1.8 million in PR value across local and national broadcast, print and online media.

We greatly value our extremely close working relationship with PoCC which allows us to identify opportunities for promotion and positioning and to best advise, and preempt when and how we can support its day-to-day operations and strategic business planning.
