Integrated Communication services (1993-2016)

ANTENNA Communication Consultants has collaborated for more than twenty years with Goodyear Tires Hellas (which, after the addition of Dunlop in 2001, was renamed Goodyear Dunlop Tires Hellas), providing integrated communication services for Goodyear and for the other brands in its portfolio (Dunlop, Fulda, Sava, Debica). Until 1996, the company produced Goodyear tires at its factory in the industrial zone of Sindos, in Thessaloniki.

The most important and impressive projects we handled during our many years of cooperation were:

Goodyear’s airship
Classic cars races
Greek car races
Product events

Internal Relations, House Organ, company’s brochures and printed materials

During our long-term cooperation with Goodyear Dunlop Tires Hellas, ANTENNA implemented lots of actions and events for the company’s staff as well as for its sales network. Indicative examples are the awarding of long service badges for the company’s staff and long co-operation badges for the dealers, photo contests, events for the retirement of managers and welcome ceremonies for new managers, Christmas parties etc.

ANTENNA Communication Consultants designed the magazine (house organ) of Goodyear Hellas and had full responsibility for its layout and production (gathering material, writing texts, etc.) throughout the duration of our cooperation with the company. The magazine was originally published under the title “The Wings of Goodyear”.

The magazine of Goodyear Dunlop Hellas was renamed to “In Contact”

After the addition of Dunlop to the company’s brands (and its renaming to Goodyear Dunlop Tires Hellas), the magazine was also renamed “In Contact” and its layout was radically changed.

Crisis Communication Programme

In July 1996 Goodyear USA (the mother company) decided to shut down the operation of the Goodyear factory in Thessaloniki (Sindos). This resulted in the dismissal of almost the entire workforce of the factory. The former workers, after a series of actions (occupation of the space outside the factory premises, marches, protests, etc.) took legal action against the company in a long legal process which ended in late 2014 with a settlement between the company and of former employees. ANTENNA Communication Consultants prepared and implemented in collaboration with the company’s management, a Crisis Communication Programme in 1996 and all the following years during the entire legal dispute between former employees and the company, until the end of 2015.
