I looked through your public presence, i find several problematic points:

1. You have a very innovative and trending direction all over the world, but you do not have a sense of progressiveness on your site, very outdated technology and layout

2. There is no feeling of a single brand, the names of a global company and a local one differ, the site is not searched separately in the search, if you enter AKWA Power Uzbekistan, not everyone knows that the name in your country is AKWA Power Syrdarya. Accordingly, you need to properly present and set up competent SEO

3. There is no storytelling on the site, everything is in pieces, mission, vision, dry, where there are videos, it is necessary to explain that this is in all languages, everything is just torn off. We need a single story on the site so that everything is connected. The news block is completely empty, you had so many news feeds, so many numbers that could be put into infographics, so many important photos with the president, for example, all this needs to be highlighted and proud, to make the story more delicious

4. We need a unified press service in 3 languages, including Russian (many high-ranking officials studied in Soviet schools and consume information in Russian, journalists too). We need a constant supply of news, 2 times a week on average, not only concerning the company, but also trends in the field. Setting up the news network in general.

5. There is no representation on Linkedin, there is no CEO brand, which in most cases broadcasts more effectively than the social networks of the company itself, this is an official person, he needs to be highlighted

6. Since this is a very crisis story in Uzbekistan, it is necessary to place great emphasis on CSR projects and highlight them with a full description, now videos in Uzbek are simply uploaded, without explanation; Implement projects and talk about them, both on your own and on partners’ websites, work with influencers and public opinion leaders, experts

7. You need high-quality interviews in the media, reports about the company, employees, to show that you have a great contribution to the lives of employees, to show that the workforce is 60 percent of the country's residents, which increases working potential and reduces the poverty factor. you need to show that despite the fact that you are foreigners, you know the environment well, you need to show the CEO’s knowledge of the Russian language

8. Coverage of your activities in the world media, despite the fact that you are aimed at the local market, this shows success, draws attention to your activities and fits you into the general context, you are taking part in solving one of the most pressing problems of the region

My equations:


Who has been involved in PR since the beginning of activities in Uzbekistan?

How is information approved before publication? Who is the final decision maker?

How often do business trips across regions occur?

How many companies need to be brought into the public field and run? I heard that there are several more, tell us about the division of companies.

What about internal communications? How many people work at the head office in Tashkent? And how many people are directly at the facilities in the region?

How often do you host or participate in events? How often do you have news updates?

Brand book?
