Apenas metade das empresas exportadoras tem um departamento de comunicação.
A conclusão é de um inquérito divulgado pela Marketeer realizado junto do tecido empresarial português. E os dados são claros. Pouco mais de metade das empresas tem um departamento de comunicação. Dentro destas, apenas 60% tem um plano de ação anual definido.
However, 751 T3C of the companies surveyed recognize that their importance is "High" or "Very High". In addition, 581% of Portuguese B2B exporting companies will increase their investment in communication in order to strengthen their relationship with stakeholders, given that 78.21% of companies have this relationship with their sales department.
"The context in which we live, and which we don't know for sure when it will change, has made it clear that it is time for top management to understand the contribution of communication to the competitiveness of companies. The business of B2B organizations is mostly based on relationships between different interlocutors and communication plays an essential role, adding value to companies and making them more competitive," commented Ana Raposo and Marta Gonçalves, the researchers responsible for the survey.
It should also be noted that nine out of ten of the companies surveyed (90.3%) have a website, with the majority of investment in communication going to social media (76.6%). This is followed by participation in trade fairs (70.2%), advertising (59.7%), business missions (50.4%) and, finally, media relations (41.1%). However, only around half of the companies surveyed (49.21%) monitor and evaluate the return on their communication investments.
