There's nothing to say that TWs can't do some outreach. Create a Lunch N Learn session on What A Technical Writer Does. Write an article for your company newsletter about what it is you do. It's also an opportunity to provide info on what the ideal process is for a TW. Hold a Managers' Briefing on how documentation contributes to product success. Make a podcast that you can circulate in the company, and explain what you do. Refer key managers to articles or podcasts that explain our role. You may need to get a little creative and a little bold, but you can raise your profile in the company in good ways, if you want to.
