Working Together
Telling your STory
The world's most respected organizations are also the most understood. People align themselves with organizations that represent their values and beliefs; that begins with understanding who you are. Let's ensure people understand where your organization is today and plans to go in the future by:
- Crafting your narrative, defining your values and bringing your vision to life through comprehensive storytelling
- Empowering your people through strategic messaging and stories that show the value they bring to one another and the world around them
- Bringing your programming and initiatives to life verbally and visually
Evolving Your Digital Presence
The attention span of readers on mobile devices is around eight seconds and is decreasing. I can help you capitalize on every second through:
- Creating a visually stimulating website that translates to mobile devices from smartphones to tablets
- Developing social media accounts with unique identities and content that users care about and share
- Leveraging all available communications channels, from blogs to e-newsletters and digital campaigns, that show the world that you're an industry leader
integrated Communications planning + execution
Over communicating can be just as dangerous under communicating when it comes to growing and maintaining your audience. Together we can:
- Position who you are, what you do and the value you bring to your audience through strategic messaging
- Identify the audiences that matter to you, the messages they care about and strategize how to reach them where they are at the right time
- Grow your reach through creative campaigns, channels and tactics using your current resources and capabilities
