Institutional and Public Service Campaing
GULF
Campaing Slogan
The campaign’s slogan main objective is to create a sense of confidence from our target market
to the Gulf brand. The slogan “Gulf…you are going to get there” inspires security, conviction, and
commitment. It is assertive and positive. The affirmation is perfect for the product that Gulf offers,
since the main purpose of gasoline is to help the consumer “get” to their destiny. But aside from this
literal interpretation, the phrase has other implicit messages. “Get” can also mean “achieve.” In other
words, with Gulf you can achieve…save money in gasoline, more potency for your car, better
performance, etc.
In this context, the phrase is flexible to be used in an effective way, not only for the
institutional campaign but also for the public service. We will give practical advice about how to save
money in gasoline. The slogan “Gulf…you are going to get there” communicates to the consumer that
thanks to us and to our advice they are going to “get” to the goal of saving in their consumption. The
suggested phrase is catchy, easy to remember and with a clear message that help us achieve the
adequate positioning of the brand in the mind of the consumer.

Introduction
It frequently happens to companies that, in the course of doing business, they do not
address issues or situations that end up altering their public image. These issues could
rise from some controversy or distorted perceptions regarding the risks and social costs
of a product – and can end being accepted in public opinion.
1
In our day-to-day work with CPC, we will put to your service our knowledge about how
public opinion groups function (consumers, environmentalists, public interest groups,
government), and how to design strategies targeted at those who generate news with
possible impact on CPC’s image. The goal is to effectively address doubts and opinions
caused by specific situations, groups or media.
Part 1- Focus
For this case, we will combine a public relations strategy with an image advertising
campaign. To understand this approach, it is necessary to take a look at the main
objective of our plan: to reach the consumer’s mind and modify public opinion.
When dealing with public media and public relations, the quality of an execution is
measured in terms of how successfully we can create a bond between the institution or
product and its target audience. We must take into consideration the company’s market;
short, medium and long range objectives; communication goals for internal and external
audiences; who are the competitors and how they communicate; any barriers to our
messages; and how to make a connection with the target audience. We will address all
these elements when executing our plan.
.
‘Positioning’ refers to the place a product or business occupies in the consumer’s mind.
It is the result of a strategy specifically designed to communicate an image about the
product, in comparison with its competitors. Positioning is based on perception, and
requires working with public opinion.
We need to ask ourselves what is CPC, beyond an image familiar with gasoline and
related products. What does the company aspire to be? How does it want to connect
with the community and the mass media?
CPC does business in a complex and competitive environment in Puerto Rico. It needs
to:
A) Develop vehicles to communicate with its public; to reposition its image as a socially
responsible company with connections with its community; and;
2
B) Open communication channels with the press, so the company has an opportunity to
assert its point of view and educate public opinion every time a CPC-related issue or an
industry issue surfaces. This is the focus of our effort, in search of a connection with
community groups and the press.
Any contact with journalists should always be channeled through the public relations
team, who will redirect any inquiries and look for the best coverage opportunities.
3
• Topics: Ideal for the discussion of complex information; of on-going relevance.
• Data: Documents, research results, in-depth interviews, explanations, numbers
and statistics, and testimonials.
Electronic Media
(Radio, TV and Internet)
• New policies
• New products and services
• New facilities
• Market-growth projects
• Service expansion
• Jobs generated, directly and indirectly
• Contract or alliance signings
• Certifications
• National, regional or local awards
• Officers appointments
• Annual assembly
• Conventions
• Community work
• Presenting financial report or social report
• Uncommon training activities, or new angles
4
• The company’s perspective on laws and regulations
• Technical reports
• Bids and auctions
• Environmental licenses
• Educational campaigns
• Taking part on an issue or controversy
• Run a research project, or a poll
• Plan a recognition event for a person or institution
• Plan an event or conference
• Create committees and announce the appointments
• Plan a contest
• Plan a visit or commercial mission.
CPC’s Spokespersons:
These are the persons who are visible to public opinion. They are the company’s image
in front of the media. Some organizations have different spokespersons for different
issues. But, generally, the president, manager or marketing directive is the
spokesperson.
• Correct him/herself
• Keep silence about confidential issues
5
• Give an exclusive interview
• Choose which media he/she wants to talk to
• Create his own image or “public persona”.
B- Press Conference
This is a programmed meeting with the press, called for by the company, for the
announcement or discussion of present or controversial issues, new projects, research
results, company position, among other topics. Offers space for explanations and
confrontations. It is also useful for announcing results and community-related activities.
C- Exclusive Interview
To give information to a specific person or medium – as we have already done with
Caribbean Business and El Nuevo Día, regarding the Tinglares (turtle) Project. It could
be asked for by the journalist or proposed by the company.
D-Special Report
This is a detailed report about a specific problem affecting an economic sector; about a
project; a company’s internal process with impact on external environment; or about the
implications of norms, regulations, permits and laws on the company or the industry,
among other topics.
6
incorrect detail is not worth correcting for the risk of endangering a good relationship with
the medium. Print media can, by their own accord, provide corrections. Electronic media
are bound by federal regulations to do so and, on occasions, to provide ‘equal time’ to
the affected party.
Directives use this tool to express a position regarding a norm, law or government
regulation. It is delivered through a letter to the editor, a press release or a press
conference.
F- Media Tour
It is important to visit journalists at least once a year. Some organizations do this every
six months. The goal is to get feedback regarding the information the company sends to
the media and to learn about the journalists’ requests.
The tour is used to deliver information, and interviews are scheduled with each medium
separately. It is an excellent tool for developing personal relations with journalists.
For media relations and exposure, there is no magic formula or uniform measure to
account for results in terms of dollars and cents. At TTG we use the following methods:
7
• Press clippings, as references to what has been published and its value in
inch/column if it were paid advertising (making it clear that a news story has more
impact than a paid ad, which is why this measure of dollar value is relative).
• DVD archives for radio, TV and Internet coverage (has to be approved by client).
• Retrospective analysis and comparison of plans and actual coverage. We prepare
periodic media reports.
♦ From time to time, gasoline price becomes a controversial topic in Puerto Rico.
Most media coverage does not take into account basic information about the
distribution chain and all the elements that influence consumer price. We could
develop a simple and visually attractive campaign with ads that explain each
step of the process of transforming petroleum into gasoline, and how each step
impacts the final price. The campaign should be ready to be used each time
this recurring issue surfaces again. It is a way for Gulf to create empathy with
the public, while educating the community and public opinion leaders about fuel
prices.
8
♦ As for a more direct approach, we could design short and attractive brochures
to inform about changes in the Law, to be distributed at Gulf concessionaries.
We can also produce promotional articles with messages about how to take
precautions and be responsible while driving. The campaign could include
short video productions to be offered to agencies and companies that usually
educate about safety. For example, this could be a collaborative project with
community schools, with special coverage by publications like El Nuevo Día
Educador. Some of these brochures and materials can be distributed at driving-
exam sites, in alliance with the concerned agencies. On the long run, Gulf can
also develop seminars and workshops on safety for companies and
government agencies. Educational material could also be distributed at
motorcycle stores, since motorcycle safety –or the lack of— is a major concern
in the Island.
9
• Reduces the number of rumors and incorrect messages that affect the internal
image.
• Delivers a positive and loyal internal public opinion.
• Helps determine which messages to communicate, when to do it, and, with which
channel.
• Gives unity and coherence to all messages by using the same tone and
language for each one.
Newsletters
♦ Two types of newsletters could be developed:
o A simple monthly newsletter, with up-to-date information about what is
going on in the company.
o A more elaborate newsletter, published every trimester, with standard
sections featuring corporate news, employees from each division, and
details on special projects (like the Tinglares project in Culebra). It should
include photos, industry reports, motivational information, employees’
personal and professional news and achievements, and stories on
environmental, scientific and technological issues. It should provide space
for employee feedback.
10
♦ In addition to any community projects that management decides to sponsor
(that employees can be part of), each division should choose a community pet
project to develop on its own. Project selection should respond to some criteria
established by the company, in terms of duration and keeping then in touch
with the company’s vision. For example, fundraising has been overdone, so
community work should be preferred. Each group would choose its project, give
it a name and develop a work slogan. This effort helps employees to compete
in a healthy manner and gives them a sense of belonging to a community
outside the work site. Management would support employees in this effort, and
feature their achievements in bulletin boards and newsletters.
♦ The monthly newsletter would feature one project at a time, with a description
of the group or community benefiting from the effort, and how employees are
part or their social or community work.
Productivity Incentives:
♦ Each division, including those directly related to sales, should establish
productivity and support parameters. Employees meeting and exceeding such
criteria would be awarded paid weekend vacations or conventions (at a local
parador or in the Caribbean). Awardees would be notified periodically.
♦ The company should provide seminars and workshops to improve productivity,
and support employees in their effort to win productivity incentives. Topics
could be industry-related, but motivational and self-improvement resources are
also important. This industry is constantly under attack, and sometimes
employees lack motivation because they feel part of a company wrongly
accused of ‘consumer abuse’.
11
How to Implement the Program
CPC and the interests it represents are part of public discussion on a daily basis. This
requires investing in an expert lobbying team, with a wide range of experiences working
strategically in Puerto Rico’s complex political circles. It should be a team with multiple
areas of expertise, connections to key players at the two principal political parties, and
knowledge of the internal situations that have created important subgroups at both
parties.
This team should also have vast experience collaborating with crisis management and
public relations teams, so all experts can work in a successful plan of action.

MEDIA TRAINING
The Art of Communicating the Correct Message
How to Handle the Press and the Public
PART I
1. Introduction
Writer Oscar Wilde used to say that in the United States, a president would rule for four
years, but the press would rule forever. Such is the power of the press, and that is why
it is crucial to know how it works, what its practices are, and how to effectively manage
yourself before the mass media.
A news story can develop at any moment, from any event – be it positive or negative.
When this happens, you will only have a few minutes to communicate your message
(i.e. Suarez Toy House). Some people are ‘naturals’ in front of the cameras, others
cannot communicate effectively in that type of situation. (ADA: i.e. Day to day, I would
interview people without any on-camera experience, with ‘panic faces’, asking me ‘How
did I do?’) But, everyone can learn basic skills and highly effective strategies for dealing
with the press or public speaking.
The better you master effective public speaking –be it in front of the press, before
regulatory agencies, at a conference, or at any forum—the better your chances of a
favorable story been published in accordance with the results you are looking for. We
are here to help you be effective spokespersons for the firms you represent, and so that
you can be of assistance in the delivery of a professional, standardized and effective
message.
1
A company’s success, and your success as a professional, depends on your work and the
quality of your services. Nevertheless, even the best service is of no avail if the public
does not get to know about it. That is why it is so important to keep communication
with your public, so they get your messages – particularly in the 21st Century, when
knowledge is power.
We live in a world that constantly provides us with information. Internet has provided us
a universe of communication possibilities, which in combination with the power of radio,
TV and print media can create or destroy a business’ image or identity – or the business
itself. Businesses and individuals who create a good public identity and project
themselves positively, are generally the ones with the higher prestige.
Thus, keeping direct communication with your publics is important. The press is one of
the best channels for this type of communication. That is why the seminar’s title is The
Art of Communicating the Correct Message-How to Deal with the Press and
the Public.
This seminar is designed to offer you a general idea about how to carve a favorable
space for yourself before public opinion. We will provide ideas, suggestions, advice, so
you can gain access to journalists and the media, always looking for positive results for
you.
Remember that your objective is to deliver the message to the public. But, paraphrasing
Puerto Rican writer Luis Rafael Sanchez in his play ‘Quintuples’, the story is not really
the story, but who tells it. Today we will learn the skills that will help us tell our best
stories, to deliver our best messages.
(Ask participants to narrate any incident or experience they have had with the press.
This works as an icebreaker and as a seminar starter.)
In order to talk about how to deliver effective messages, let us first take a look at what
is journalism -- since the most common mistakes are related to lack of knowledge about
how it works.
Both the U.S. and Puerto Rico Constitutions protect freedom of the press and freedom of
speech. Journalism – which can be practiced in radio, print, television and Internet— is
protected by constitutional guarantees in order to keep the public informed. Well-
informed people are capable of making intelligent decisions.
Reporters are the workers who do the day-to-day leg work, informing the public about
the day’s events, or those events which the medium chooses as relevant for its public.
5. What Is News?
2
What Is News- An event of interest to the general public is considered news.
Irrespective of the personal or institutional interest we might have in some fact to be
known, if it does not have news value for the targeted community it will not be
published.
News is not advertising in disguise. Of course, every public relations effort responds to a
promotional objective. But in order to deserve press coverage, it has to pass the famous
‘So what?’ test. If your message does not pass the ’So what?’’ test, it is not news.
Everything that is out of the norm is news. Also, everything that could be of interest to
the people is news. The best news is the one that grabs the interest of a lot of people.
News has to be timely, new, relevant, and have proximity to the public. It has to call
attention, and provide useful information.
For my information to get noticed among the hundreds of press releases that get to the
newsroom daily, it has to be relevant to many people, and have what we call ‘hook’.
A party; the launching of a new line of products; or the appointment of a new president
are news only if they affect the community; if they change some trend or philosophy; if
they contradict the establishment or brake some paradigm; or if they are pertinent to
the average reader.
For a country of 100 x 35 miles, Puerto Rico has a wide range of mass media, with a
very competitive industry.
Its more than 15 local TV channels, cable and satellite TV outlets, 120 radio stations,
four daily newspapers, and many trade newspapers and magazines make this a very
competitive market, comparable with Hispanic markets in the U.S., and even
mainstream midsize U.S. markets.
In spite of such variety, the truth is that there is still space to grow. For example, there
are over a million TV sets in the Island, but 60% of homes still do not have access to
cable or satellite TV. In addition, digital conversion will foster the creation of new local
channels.
As for the radio industry, competition is harsher. Puerto Rico is the U.S. jurisdiction with
the largest number of radio stations per square mile. With its 120 operational stations,
the Island is considered one of the principal radio markets in the United States. Puerto
Rico is number 13 in Arbitron’s list of radio markets.
3
Nevertheless, in spite of the huge number of TV channels and radio stations,
newspapers get the biggest piece of the advertising pie.
It is not easy to get your news published by a newspaper or TV station. Behind every
news story, there is an editorial line – specific guidelines for each medium. These
guidelines are not only determined by the reporter, but by his/her supervisor (editor),
the assignment editor, the director or executive editor, and the owner or publisher. This
power ‘tug of war’ gets more complex with the intervention of the sales director, special
interest groups and advertisers.
This is why it is very important to keep a healthy and direct relationship with the media,
the reporters and the directives.
(Ada explains the editorial process for TV, and Pepo and Sandra explain the editorial
process for newspapers.)

3. Communication Vehicles
Press Release
Interview – Close encounter of the third kind – The most common tool.
Telephone Interview – The problem with this is that you can only depend on your voice as
your sole projection tool.
One-On-One Interview – The spokesperson gives all her attention to one reporter at a time.
Usually these encounters are prearranged. This is a great opportunity to establish a personal
connection with the reporter. If you are well prepared and know your material, this is the ideal
tool.
Press Conference - This is one of the most effective vehicles, frequently used to generate
press coverage. A press conference could be a very simple event with just a microphone and
some chairs; or it could be a mega production. What really matters is the content, what you say.
Producing a press conference entails many technical details, like selecting the perfect day and
time; writing a good press release and even a press kit; arranging the room in a way that is
4
attractive but also practical for camera crews. You also have to pay attention to sitting protocol;
a contingency plan if it is going to take place outdoors or if one of your resources cannot make it
on time; and convoking all media and doing follow-up on the invitation. Nevertheless, the most
important matter is to be totally prepared to answer any question (related or unrelated to the
topic). Secondly, you most have it very clear in your mind that your mission in that setting is not
to answer questions, but to deliver your message. There is a difference between the two
(elaborate).
Running the technical details of a press conference is the job of your public relations or
marketing department, or your public relations or media management agency. But you should be
familiar with these details and feel comfortable with the process.
“Round Table”
The Exclusive – The media, and the reporters, are very inflexible and demanding about this
concept. If you promise an exclusive, you better make sure to fulfill your promise or you risk that
medium going against you permanently. Once the first information you provide is published and
of public domain, you are free to give comments or reactions to any other media interested in
the story – and choose among those. Basically, an exclusive guarantees coverage by one specific
medium of your interest, since the press loves exclusives – as long as it is about something
newsworthy and relevant.
1. Introduction
Ada – A reporter can be your best ally, although sometimes it does not seem so when
you are amidst crisis, controversies or when press coverage could affect your business.
Keep in mind that great things have happened in Puerto Rico and around the world
because some reporter got interested in an issue.
Remember: the reporter has the last word, and it is a public word. No one wins a battle
with the press.
2. VIDEO –
3. News, when published, never includes all the information provided by the
source. Reporters choose quotes that, for them, best summarize the issue and the
source’s position regarding the issue. They are forced to do so by time and space
constraints.
5
The reporter’s selection of facts and quotes might not always be of the liking of the
source. In fact, it usually is not. The source might have preferred some specific
approach that the reporter did not considered important.
From the start, it is fair to acknowledge that the reporter has been trained and has more
experience than you in selecting quotes, and is probably right in the focus he chose for
the story. But, on occasions, the source (that is, you) knows more about the topic. It is
possible for the reporter to miss some nuance that was fundamental to the story.
There are several strategies for projecting yourself effectively. The most important: have
a mental script, focus on your message, and do not deviate from it. Every time you
address the press, focus on your goal: the message you want to deliver. Grab control of
the interview: you are the expert. Answer the questions, but do not let them drive you;
always look for ways to direct the answers to the point you want to address. But always
be responsive.
Before an interview, learn about the reporter and the medium (i.e. references,
background). Do like lawyers do, and never go to an interview without some research or
without anticipating some of the questions and their answers.
* How to speak in ‘sound-bites’ – Be credible; that is, talk about your area of
expertise and about topics you know first-hand. Add anecdotes that provide the human
touch to your message, and provide facts to sustain your statements. If you do not
understand a question (it is common to be asked confusing questions), do not doubt to
ask for clarification. If you do not know the answer of do not have all the information
needed, just say you do not have that piece of information at hand, but you would be
pleased to supply it later. Use a conversational tone, not as if you were dictating a
conference in an amphitheater. Be jovial and affable even with serious topics. Affability
sends the message that you are so confident about what you are saying that you do not
need to reinforce it with extreme seriousness.
5. Always Be Available:
Rule number one for a successful relationship with the press is to always be available. I
cannot stress this enough. When a reporter calls you for a reaction or asks for
information, he has a deadline to get it (a specific date and time). So interrupt what you
6
are doing and answer the call. The press will not accommodate your work schedule.
Period.
When you are available, you have an excellent chance to be quoted or covered for a
story; of being a source; an even of becoming an opinion maker. If not, the reporter will
go to the next available source. This is true for all hierarchy levels.
Journalism is about ‘here and now’. So always answer the calls. If you do not have the
information at hand, or would like to consult with your external or in-house public
relations office, you can just ask for some time to gather the facts. It is crucial to
answer the call, be available, and arrange to get the facts. If you promise a reporter
some information, make sure to get it and deliver it to the reporter.
* Bridge
Now that it is clear how important it is to be available, we must understand that an ill-
managed interview is worse than not being available to the press. We will talk about this
later.
6. No comments – Never use the phrase ‘I have no comments’. There are a thousand
ways of not saying a thing you do not want to say, without using this phrase. I.E.:
1. Public Opinion
Public opinion is nothing more than the public discussion agenda dictated by the mass
media, and the editorial angles and positions that sustain such discussion. The media
are the ones setting the topics discussed in the nation and the opinions the people have
about those issues. That is why the press is called the fourth power: because it has the
power to create public opinion. (i.e. videos of the war in Iraq). It is not a secret that the
media holds editorial positions and opinions on relevant issues.
And yet, it is possible and viable to interact with the press and achieve favorable public
opinion for our businesses and for our selves.
Public opinion arises from press coverage, and it is an effective but dangerous tool. An
ill-managed incident can generate bad public opinion that lingers in the collective
memory for a long time. Even when people forget the details of the story, they always
remember the bad impression.
7
certainly be erased with big public relations efforts, but it will take time and money, and
it will take a toll on your mental sanity.
To deal with the press, you have to play by their rules. Otherwise, you will loose even
before you begin to play.
It is better to go through a short but difficult moment than to have never-ending days of
negative coverage. (I.E. Russian boy)
In the same token, remember to never deny information to a reporter that he could get
from another source.
Later on we will talk about how to create favorable public opinion for ourselves, and
how projections and body language can help.
PART II
Crisis Management
• Perception vs. Reality
o What Are They
• Communications Plan
o Design a single corporate message – All of you have to internalize and
send the same message to the public. View yourselves as members of a
choir: different voices, but one song. Inconsistencies and contradictions
among team member attract the press as blood in the water attracts
sharks. You can be sure that is going to be the story angle. i.e. AEE and
the collapse of the electrical system.
Exxon Valdes (1989) has turned into a classic case study. An accident broke
the oil tank, which spilled 1.2 barrels of oil into the sea in Alaska. At the time
of the accident, the captain was drunk and had left an uncertified employee
in charge of the vessel.
8
This case dramatizes the perfect formula for public-opinion disaster: Exxon
did too little, too late. The spill-containment efforts were too slow. The
company’s spokesperson showed hostility towards the press. Communication
flowed as troubled as the vessel. At a certain point, Exxon’s president refused
to appear on television and a spokesperson said he did not have enough time
to make an appearance, while millions of barrels of oil where damaging the
environment.
Containment and cleaning operations were a disaster; they did not know
what they were doing, and they let the world know about it. Finally, when
public pressure was unbearable, Exxon’s president agreed to a live-TV
interview. Obviously, the first question was about the progress of the
cleaning operations. This gentleman did not read the progress report before
the interview, so he answered that it was not the chairman’s job to be aware
of details about the cleaning process. He blamed the press for the hostile
coverage and buried Exxon.
1. A bad interview is almost worse than not being available or than refusing to talk
to the press.
2. Show respect.

3. It is important to always call a reporter by her name. Be affable with reporters,
both with those you know and those you are meeting for the best time. Ask for
their names, introduce yourself, thank them for being there.
4. Providing the reporter with additional material that supports your message gives
you an advantage. The press loves studies and statistics.
5. Be ready to repeat your statements; reporters do not always get to the press
conference all at the same time. What to do if a tardy reporter asks something
that has already been answered:
6. Do not be frustrated if the media do not show up at your event. Remember you
have competition for their attention. All you should do is evaluate what could
have happened, so you do not repeat the mistake.
11. Do not get upset with any king of question. Try to keep your disgust to yourself.
12. Do not waste time talking about your competition. Do not even mention it.
Neither should you talk about what you are not doing, only about what you are
actually doing.
13. Do not send gifts to reporters, it does not work. On the contrary, it could have a
negative impact. If you want to show your appreciation, you can do it during
Press Week or Christmas.
14. Turn yourself into a valuable collaborator for the media by providing newsworthy
information throughout the year. The reporters will get to know you, and will
respect you as a valuable source. This will help you gain constant exposition for
your company.
10
Most journalists are nice people who show respect to their interviewees. But there are
some characters, exceptions to the rule, which you need to keep in mind:
1- The ‘interrupting type’: He interrupts you constantly while you are answering
his question. She makes you loose your line of thought, and takes control by
doing so. When dealing with this type or reporter, you have two options. The
first one: stop to listen to whatever he has to say; then resume your statement
with something like “I will answer that new question in a moment. As I was
saying…” Or you can completely ignore the interruption and continue your
sentence and, when you are done, say something like: “You were asking me
about something else, go ahead…”
2- The machine gun: He ‘shoots’ questions one after the other. You can say, very
nicely: “You are asking several questions, which one do you want me to answer
first?”
4- The dart thrower: He is probably the most dangerous and hostile interviewer.
With her innuendos, she tries to find you, your company, or your industry guilty
of something. Never answer this sort of questions without first clarifying that you
do not agree with the first premise. When you answer as if the reporter’s
premise were correct, you are accepting any implications as true.
5- The repetitive type- She repeats the same question again and again, with
different wording, until she gets the answer she is looking for. You need to focus
on the question, answer it, and as soon as it surfaces again, nicely comment that
you have already answerd to that question.
7- ‘The pause’- He makes many pauses and long silences during the interview, in
order to make you uncomfortable and unfocused. Use the time he provides you
to mentally revise your answers, and focus on your message. If when you finish
your answer there is silence, make a transition to another important point.
8- ‘The rumor carrier’ - She ask questions that really are rumors, sometimes
about other companies or your competitors. Tries to make you commento n the
rumors. Resist the temptation to comment. Do not waste time before the press
commenting on rumors or about your competitors. The exception is when you
are asked to comment as an expert, in a broad context.
11
9- The pessimist – He always asks questions from a negative perspective and
makes it difficult for you to put the issue under positive light. Skepticism
permeates the interview. Insist on analyzing the question with a positive view.
Construct your answer around what you have done to solve the problem, and
what you are doing to prevent future controversies or problems.
10- The sarcastic – Throws hurtful and mean questions at you. Never fall in her
trap. Keep your stance, answer the question and focus on the message.
11- The clueless- He is lost, does not read the newspapers, and is not ready to talk
about the topic assigned to him. Be patient and repeat with clarity, being careful
not to bore other reporters if there is a group. If you notice other reporters are
getting tired of this, kindly tell him that you will take some time to explain him in
detail after the session is done.
12- The star- Usually a TV reporter, although there are some stars in other media.
She considers herself to be the news, and all attention must go to her. This type
is easy to deal with: just feed her ego, make her feel important, call her by her
name, and you will win her.
Your body language speaks as clear as your words, or even clearer. Consider
the following. (Sandra o Pepo asks a question. I answer it twice, with different body
demeanors).
Non-verbal communication is a powerful tool for professional and personal success. The
last decade has seen numerous behavioral science studies about non-verbal
communication. Some of these studies suggest that interlocutors only
interpret seven percent of a person’s message through what is said. The other
93% is understood through body language. Researchers have agreed on some
basic rules that lead to an effective projection before the press, during an interview, or
any public appearance.
The first thing you must do is to establish the traits of what will be your public persona.
This public persona has its own personality, deportment and demeanor, which could be
similar to your private behavior, or completely different. It depends on what your
natural demeanor is.
Your public persona is not about creating a false image of yourself – actually, this never
works, since your nature always resurfaces. It is about polishing important details in
your projection that might have an impact in your message. The messenger should
never kill the message.
If you are shy by nature; you tend to get upset; you show your negative emotions very
easily; have nervous ticks; are very lineal in your delivery; or boring, among other
things, you should develop a public persona that helps you deliver your message. Test
12
this concept. Find someone you trust and ask him if you are boring. You are boring if
you talk for more than five minutes … (elaborate)…
Body language is a broad and fascinating topic (Maggit Group anecdote). We offer a
seminar exclusively on body language. But for the purpose of this seminar, we want to
give you the basics.
Body language has three basic components: controlling your voice and oratorical
behavior; controlling body movement and posture; and how you present yourself in
terms of wardrobe – what your clothing says and does not say about you.
Lets start with clothing, which is what people notices first, and the first component to
that contributes to that public persona, even before you start speaking.
1- Dress Accordingly
Every work field has its own dress code; one does not dress the same if one works at
the “Milla de Oro” or if one works at room full with pre-schoolers. Acknowledge this fact
and embrace it. Colors also have their impact. Avoid aggressive colors like orange or
aqua or fuchsia. For TV appearances, avoid small prints.
3- For Men
It does not matter if you wear a $1,500 or a $200 suit: make sure it fits you, the hems
are the correct size, the socks match the suit, and you feel comfortable. There is nothing
so disgusting as to see a man whose jacket buttons look like bursting in any moment, or
with jacket sleeves five inches shorter than the shirt’s.
Never cross your arms in front of your chest, since you look defensive. And the easiest
strategy, the one we tend to forget under stress: smile.
13
6- Be on time for your interview or event, and take some minutes to
familiarize yourself with the place.
8- Lee Iaccoca
As for voice tone and projection, there is an interesting quote from Lee Iacocca: “Each
time you talk you are putting on a performance”. With this in mind, think of journalism
as the art of making information understandable. If you do not speak clearly and do not
communicate exactly what you want to say, the journalist will do this interpretation for
you. That means you have to pay attention not only to the words -- the content of your
message-- but to inflexion and cadence, those lows and highs that grab the listener’s
attention.
This is a list of gestures and what they usually tell: (photos, the there of us)
1. Touching your jaw Making a decision
2. Interlacing your fingers Authority
3. Pulling your ear Insecurity
4. Looking down Not believing what you hear
5. Rubbing your hands Impatience
6. Squeezing your nose A negative evaluation
7. Softly drumming your fingers Impatience
8. Sitting with your hands grabbing
the back of your head Self-reliance, superiority
9. Inclining your head Interest
10. Palm of your hand open Self-reliance, frankness, innocence
11. Walking straight, tall Self-reliance, confidence
12. Stand with hands on your hips Good disposition to do something
13. Fidgeting with your hair Lack of confidence, insecurity
14. Biting your nails Insecurity
15. Resting your head on hands Boredom
16. Looking at the floor Boredom
17. Putting your ankles together Apprehension, fear
18. Holding your hands to your back Anger, frustration, apprehension
19. Crossed legs, balancing one foot Boredom
14
20. Crossing arms at chest level Brazos Deffensive attitude
21. Walking with hands in pockets Discouragement
22. Walking with droopy shoulders Discouragement
23. Hands on your cheeks Evaluating
24. Rubbing an eye Doubts
25. Lightly touching your nose Lying, doubting, rejecting something

History
CPC operates a 50,000 barrels per day petroleum (BPD) refining facility at the
site. Refinery operations commenced at the site in 1955 under the name of
Caribbean Refining Corporation. The facility was purchased in 1962 by the Gulf
Oil Corporation at which time the name was changed to Caribbean Gulf Refining
Corporation. Chevron Corporation acquired ownership of the site when it merged
with Gulf Oil-Corporation in 1984.
Caribbean Petroleum Corporation (CPC) was formed in 1987 through the merger
of (1) Caribbean Gulf Refining Corp., (2) Gulf Petroleum S.A., and (3) Compañía
Petrolera Chevron, Inc. Since then the refinery facility has been operated
intermittently.
In 1996, CPC created profit centers for the service stations and the refinery and
terminal to better serve its customers.

In our employees who are our greatest asset, their talent and dedication are the
foundation of our success.
In our suppliers and customers, who make our business possible and allow us to
serve their needs.
In our dedication to achievement, growing and competing in a broad international
market and remaining in the forefront of technology and change.
In our experienced professional management that combined with a highly trained

chemicals.
In addition, CPC has under contract 210 Gulf service stations in Puerto Rico to market
gasoline and diesel under this brand name.
Product Services
Facilities
The CPC facility is located in the Luchetti Industrial Park in Bayamón in the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. It is near San Juan where 65% of all petroleum products
are consumed. The plant is about five miles south of the northern coast of the island and
the Caribbean Sea. Geographic coordinates are: latitude 18° 25' 30", longitude 66° 8' 10".
.
The CPC refinery site encompasses approximately 179 acres, of which 115 are
developed. The facility is divided into a tank farm, a process area, administration area,
and a wastewater treatment facility. In addition CPC owns and operates a loading dock
facility on the San Juan Bay in Guaynabo, approximately two and one-half miles from
the site.
Refinery
The CPC Bayamón refinery is a sour crude cracking refinery. The refinery has
been expanded and modernized in several stages from its original design capacity
of 10,000 barrels per stream day (BPSD) in 1955 to the current capacity of 48,000
BPSD today. A total refurbishment of all the process equipment was made in
1998 - 99 at a cost of $35 million. The refinery was shutdown in August 2000
because of poor refining margins. The refinery operated only 14 months after the
refurbishment, short of the expected 5 years cycle between turnarounds.
Crude oil is pumped from tankage to the No.1 and No.2 crude units where it is
separated by atmospheric distillation into several fractions. The lighter fraction,
naphtha, is sent to the gasoline stabilizer for removal of the liquefied petroleum
gas (LPG) and the stabilized naphtha is sent to the reformer. In the reformer the
naphtha octane is increased from about 50 to 98 RON. The high octane reformate
gasoline is used primarily to make unleaded premium gasoline. The second
fraction distilled in the crude units is used to make kerosene and jet fuel. The third
fraction is used to make diesel. The Gulfiner, a distillate hydrotreater, receives the
diesel from the crude units and removes the sulfur and other impurities. High and
low sulfur diesels are produced in the Gulfiner.
The heavier product, removed from the crude distillation units, is sent to the
vacuum distillation unit for removal of gas oil, a lighter material. The heavy
product out of the vacuum unit is blended with lighter materials and used to make
fuel oil and asphalt. The gas oil is sent to the Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit
where it is cracked into smaller molecules producing gas, gasoline, LPG, and
diesel type material. The gasoline produced in the FCC unit is used primarily to
make unleaded regular gasoline. Highly olefinic LPG is sent to the
Polymerization unit and converted into unleaded regular gasoline. Both the FCC
and Polymerization gasoline are treated in the Merox unit before being sent to the
tankage for blending into finished unleaded gasoline. Gases from the FCC,
Reformer, Gulfiner, and Polymerization units are sent to the amine unit for the
removal of sulfur. The sulfur compounds are then sent to the Sulfur Recovery
units for the production of elemental sulfur.
Utilities
The utility equipment in the facility consists of four steam generation boilers that
produce about 150,000 pounds per hour of 250 psig steam. The largest boiler is
the CO boiler with a capacity of 75,000 pounds per hour of superheated steam.
Two induced fan cooling towers of about 12,000 gallons per minute water
circulation supply the required cooling capacity for the refinery. Electric power is
supplied by two redundant 38,000 volts lines. Two 100% capacity each
transformers step down the electricity to 4,160 volts for major consumers.
Additional transformers step down the electricity to 480 volts for smaller users.
Compressed air is supplied for instrument and plant air by two 1,500 CFM Elliot
dry air compressors. The refinery is operated from a distributed control system
located in a central control room.
CPC also operates a wastewater treatment plant for the process and contact water
generated in the refinery and the terminal. The terminal facilities are manned 24
hours a day, seven days a week. Around the clock security guards are on duty at
the main entrance, the loading racks, and the dock.
Service Stations
Puerto Rico has approximately 1,400 service stations from which 67% of the total
volume of petroleum product is marketed by the four major companies:
CPC/Gulf, Esso, Shell, & Texaco. The remaining 33% of the market belong to
various independent companies,
Dock
The marine/fuel terminal serves as our logistic center. CPC's dock is the only
privately owned docking facility in the San Juan Bay. The facility allows loading
and unloading crude oil, as well as clean and black products, It can handle two
barges simultaneously, or one large ship up to 60 MDWT with 38 feet of draft
single hull and 39 feet double hull vessel. The dock is connected to the refinery by
pipelines.
Pipelines
CPC pipelines consist of six carbon steel pipelines of various diameters that run
from the refinery to the dock and to the Cataño Oil Dock. The pipelines also
connect to the Puerto Rico Electrical Power Company (PREPA) fuel oil and
diesel pipelines. The pipes run aboveground except at two highway crossings
where they run underground through casings. The 13,000 feet of piping run
through a strip of land to which CPC has a right of way. The pipelines service is
as follows:
Loading Racks
The facility is capable of dispensing all the products that are handled through the
truck loading racks. The facilities are as follows:
A clean oil loading rack: Three-island, fully automated bottom loading rack
for gasoline and diesel oil
A LPG loading rack with two islands
A Black Oil loading rack: a two-island facility for handling fuel oils, diesel,
and asphalt
Clients
Customer Base
Puerto Rico has a motor vehicle population of 1.5 million gasoline consuming
vehicles.
As a Central hub for the Caribbean Basin, San Juan International Airport,
along with other local airports, are major users of jet fuel.
Manufacturing, transportation and construction firms use kerosene and diesel
fuels, as well as supply for ship bunkering.
Fuel oil is sold to the government utility company (PREPA), and additional
volumes are sold for ships bunkering.
Community Involvement
Workforce
Our community involvement starts with our people. CPC directly employs 65
professionals and technicians in a variety of fields. In addition, we contribute to
the creation of indirect employment in Puerto Rico through the contracting of
different firms. They provide us with services and materials that make our
operation possible and reliable.
Permits
The CPC facility is subject to United States and Puerto Rico regulations in the
fields related to its type of business. The facility has all the environmental and
safety related permits and contingency plans for its refinery and terminaling
operations.

Un mensaje de Gulf,
orgulloso auspiciador
del proyecto de tinglares de Culebra.
I hope everything is going well with your new baby! I know mother and son are
doing great. I will see you all tomorrow.
There are several things I need to follow up on according to our work plan:
A- The graphic artist presented us some preliminary ideas. They were not
exactly what I wanted to present you, so I send her back to the drawing
board; I will have a meeting with her this week. This is a normal creative
process, but when I show you this campaign I want to feel completely
comfortable with I am recommending. The copy (text) part the copywriter
submitted I liked very much and are working around it.
B- An approval of the logo “Con Gulf vas a llegar” or “You are going to get
there” (we send you a creative narrative for this several weeks ago) is very
necessary and key for the concept of the whole campaign. In the ad we
did recently for the CUD (an emergency congratulatory ad; no relation with
the campaign) we were instructed to use the old slogan (Gulf, al servicio
de tu automobil) which was the right call in absence of an approved new
one. But this slogan is old fashioned, not engaging, and of course,
consumers don’t care about products in service of their cars or appliances,
but in service to them. The whole focus is not what we should be using.
We submitted to you several slogans; we recommend “Con Gulf vas a
llegar” for many reasons and because it appeals to so many things, but
your team should pick one so we can carry on with the creative process
and present you a formal campaign around it (we are working at it
anyway, being flexible, but the rest of the concept should be in sync with
the slogan).
C- We should record and air the radio campaign ad. This is much simpler to
execute and you have a lot of money invested in radio stations that should
be used. The more I read what going on in worldwide for the industry, the
more convinced I am that this effort to communicate with the local public
should be done now. When things get more difficult, as we know they
probably will, the public should already have a relation with the brand, an
empathy that should be created and nurtured now. It will be amazingly
useful in the near future.
I am sure that because of Eric’s excellent relationship with the sales
people in the media, they are making an exception for CPC, but the rule in
the industry is that if you have and exchange of services and do not use
yours for a long time, they can make it hard for you to use that money. We
spoke to Nora Plaza (Radio Isla) and the rest of the contacts and
everything is fine, but let’s not press our luck and get on with the
recording. As stated in the plan, we are talking just about radio ads, but
some integration ideas and participations in programs with mini- sections
that can be consumer or environment related.
We can hire a professional recognized voice to do this ads, or I can simply
record them myself (not the best voice in P.R., but free of extra charge for
you, of course) or you can hire a couple or talents, male and female. The
point is to get it done as soon as possible. The only thing we require for
this is the approved slogan: the written copies or texts are simple and can
be recorded and renovated easily.
D- The December party’s coordination is going well: Awilda and Guchy are
analyzing several proposals and keeping me up to date.
E- When you have a moment I would like to sit down with you and talk about
coordinating some one on one interviews. Will talk about this in person
and the ideas I have.
Frase de campaña
La frase de campaña tiene como objetivo principal crear un sentido de confianza por parte de
nuestro público objeto hacia la marca Gulf. La frase “CON GULF VAS A LLEGAR” inspira
seguridad, convicción y compromiso. Es asertiva y positiva. La afirmación es perfecta para el tipo de
producto que ofrece Gulf, puesto que el propósito principal de la gasolina es, precisamente, lograr que
los consumidores ‘lleguen’ a su destino. Pero, además de esta interpretación literal, la frase tiene otros
mensajes implícitos. “Llegar” puede entenderse también como “lograr”. En otras palabras, con Gulf
vas a lograr... economizar dinero en gasolina, mayor potencia en tu auto, más rendimiento, etcétera.
En ese sentido, la frase es flexible para utilizarse de forma efectiva, no solamente para la campaña
institucional, sino también para la campaña educativa de servicio público. En este renglón, habremos
de dar consejos prácticos sobre cómo ahorrar dinero en gasolina. El eslogan “CON GULF VAS A
LLEGAR” le comunica al usuario de gasolina que gracias a nosotros y a nuestros consejos van a
‘llegar’ a la meta de ahorrar en el consumo. En resumen, la frase de campaña sugerida es pegajosa,
fácil de recordar y con un mensaje claro y sencillo, que aporta a un posicionamiento adecuado de la
marca en la mente del consumidor.

TEXTO
Currently, there are 21 legislative projects and/or resolutions presented before the
legislature directly related to your industry. Proper monitoring of such a staggering
amount of legislation will provide you with the necessary information to make informed
and strategic decisions involving your business. Following please find the services I offer
as part of my professional services agreement.
I work under a very strict work ethic and extreme confidentiality (clauses which are
included in my agreement). I also do not engage in professional services with
competitors, and have a waiting period when an agreement has ended before taking
another client in the same industry, as part of my work ethic.
Thank you very much for your kind attention to this matter, yours, I remain,
The legislative environment in Puerto Rico is constantly evolving. It is a place where, as demonstrated
recently, laws get passed with amazing speed, while on other occasions they linger. Having a professional
lobbyist in the Capitol insures your corporate interests are monitored and protected. It provides you and
your corporation or association with a peace of mind that anything affecting your business or interests will
be addressed swiftly and professionally. Additionally, a lobbyist will seize opportunities to introduce
legislation, which benefits your corporate and policy goals, while working to curtail legislation from
adversary influences.
- The individual lobbyist has a constant personal presence in the Capitol, whereas the firm will
make occasional visits regarding specific issues.
- The individual lobbyist will design and pursue a targeted and tailored legislative strategy to fit the
client’s specific needs, and has the flexibility to meet the challenges of daily changes in
legislative trends, whereas the firm will tend to stick to the outlined strategy with little flexibility.
- The individual lobbyist has personal relationships, not only with the legislators but with the
respective staff’s, which are the one that draft and move legislation, as well as the ones that are
aware of everything that is happening on a daily basis, whereas the firm has relationships mostly
with the legislators only.
- The individual lobbyist has no overhead, so there are no hidden or sudden billings for particulars
such as extra hours, attorney fees, clerical expenses and entertainment expenses.
Enclosed you will find my statement of qualifications and my curriculum vitae for your review.

COMUNICADO DE PRENSA
COMUNICADO DE PRENSA
En momentos en que las playas de Puerto Rico serán visitadas por miles de
puertorriqueños comenzando este fin de semana hasta el próximo, la
ciudadanía debe estar alertada de que los tinglares se encuentran en plena
época de anidaje y desove, y corren peligro de no contar con la cooperación
de los visitantes playeros.
Esta especie marina mayormente pone sus huevos en las playas de Culebra
y toda el área noreste de la Isla (corredor de Luquillo a Fajardo). Su periodo
de reproducción ocurre entre los meses de marzo y junio, pero las crías
pueden tardar en salir de los huevos hasta septiembre.

“Pero todos los esfuerzos de la empresa privada y las agencias publicas no
son suficientes si no tenemos la ayuda del pueblo. Es imposible vigilar cada
nido. La gente debe saber la importancia de esta especie, lo delicado de su
proceso de reproducción y la crucial de mantenerse alejados de los nidos”,
finalizó Zeevi.

COMUNICADO DE PRENSA
Ver la expresión en el rostro de alguien que por primera vez que ve a un enorme
tinglar salir del agua a anidar, o a sus retoños comenzando su fascinante lucha
por la vida, es algo que nunca se olvida.
Puerto Rico es uno de los centros de anidaje de tinglares más importantes del
mundo y las playas más importantes están en Fajardo, Culebra y Vieques. En la
costa de Luquillo y Fajardo se han reportado sobre 400 nidos de tinglar,
convirtiéndola en la segunda en el Caribe para los tinglares.
Pero quizás la parte más importante de esta cooperación entre una causa
ecológica y la empresa privada es que no se trata de una mera donación: su
gerente, Rami Zeevi, se ha incorporado al equipo de voluntarios para el conteo
diurno. No hay mejor manera de apoyar un proyecto que vivirlo y entenderlo.
