"DfT has a number of strategic communication managers in its Strategic Communication Division embedded in different parts of the Department to improve its overall strategic planning and develop stakeholder engagement.

Strategic Communication Managers play a vital role in ensuring that every element of communications is planned for in their area of responsibility. They work with the press office, policy officials and strategic planners to draw up a coherent communications plan. Though not dealing with the media, an understanding of the media is very important.

Strategic Communications Managers have particular responsibility for looking at how the Department’s work affects all our stakeholders. Their brief is to encourage their host directorates to build better relationships and improve mutual understanding." (link below.)
