VP Communications persona
Owns external narrative, press, IR support and exec visibility — merch must be on-message and reputationally safe.
Profile
In Italy companies the VP Communications is the gatekeeper for anything that touches journalists, analysts and the investor community. They commission merch for press lunches, analyst days, IR roadshows and crisis response. Spend is modest in volume but high in scrutiny — every item is photographed and quoted. The relationship with the supplier is tested most during the unscheduled crisis pivot.
Workflow and contractual concerns
Workflow: VP Communications signs every external-facing item, the comms director runs day-to-day with the supplier, the IR team co-approves anything for the investor audience. Procurement under net-30 against a strict reputational vendor list. Concerns: rapid take-down or repurpose under crisis, secure file handling pre-announcement, premium-perceived spec without premium-spend signal.
