Central Coast Community Energy (3CE) is seeking a vendor to provide strategic communications and media relations. The successful applicant will have demonstrated expertise in California media markets, including strong relationships with statewide, Sacramento, San Francisco, and Central Coast media outlets, to support proactive storytelling and stakeholder engagement.
The selected vendor will help 3CE:
• Increase positive awareness of 3CE’s work, expertise, and community impact;
• Strengthen relationships with key stakeholders, including state regulators, elected officials, and community leaders;
• Proactively shape public narrative around 3CE and the Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) energy-procurement model; and
• Expand 3CE’s presence across earned media and digital/social channels, including leadership visibility.
The energy landscape is complex and evolving, and there is often confusion among stakeholders. 3CE seeks to proactively establish a strong, credible, and trusted identity to ensure accurate understanding of its mission, performance, and value to communities.
3CE prefers local agencies but is open to receiving proposals from vendors outside its service area with strong California media reach.
