Ensuring continuity in media relations despite
a prolonged absence
How DTS quickly deployed an immediately operational press officer within a communications team
In the telecommunications sector, a large company relies on a communications team responsible, among other things, for the day-to-day management of relations with the media and external stakeholders. A strategic role, where responsiveness and continuity are essential.
Due to the prolonged absence of a key team member, the team leader had to take over a significant part of that person’s responsibilities, in addition to their own managerial role. While the situation could be absorbed temporarily, the workload quickly became difficult to sustain.
Challenge
- Maintaining effective media relations despite the prolonged absence of a key corporate communications team member
Solution
- Joint definition of a precise profile and rapid mobilisation of the DTS network to deploy an immediately operational press officer
Result
- Near-immediate integration, a relieved team leader, and assured continuity of strategic communication activities

The challenge
Finding an immediately operational reinforcement
As the weeks went by, the team leader found themselves juggling team management, their own responsibilities, and those of the absent colleague. However, certain critical tasks – particularly those related to press relations – could neither be postponed nor scaled back.
The need was therefore clear: to quickly find an immediately operational reinforcement, capable of integrating into the team without delay and keeping the onboarding time to an absolute minimum, in order to relieve the team leader as quickly as possible.

Our solution
A tailor-made profile, mobilised through the DTS network
From the very first discussions, DTS worked closely with the client to define the ideal profile. Beyond a simple replacement, we refined the key competencies required: a press officer with solid experience in communication and journalism, and full command of the tools needed to be rapidly deployable.
Rather than proposing an internal resource that did not fully match the client’s needs, DTS chose to mobilise its network of specialised talents. In just two weeks, the right profile was defined, validated, and ready to join the team.
