Proposed next steps:
You need to be the project owner to select a next step.
We would recommend continued research to provide a more detailed background and overview of Duke Energy, including the company's origins and how they've grown since their founding, the remainder of their leadership and c-suite teams, any additional publicly available financial data about the company, and the company's agency of record for their marketing and advertising (along with 2-3 examples of creatives). Please check this box if we should proceed with this research.
We would further recommend a complete biography, both personal and professional, for the Director of Marketing identified during our early research. Further, we would recommend a press search for the company, to include 10-12 unique news articles published in the past 12-24 months about Duke Energy. For each article identified, we will provide a link to it, along with a brief description of the article. Please check this box if we should proceed with this research.
Finally, we would recommend additional research to identify seven true competitors to Duke Energy. For each, we will provide their name and website, why they've been included as a competitor, and their value proposition. Further, we would recommend research to provide a competitive landscape of those seven competitors alongside Duke Energy, including for each their competitive advantage, their strengths and weaknesses, their annual revenue, and any cities/states/countries where they have a footprint.
