We are all in the business of communicating

Communication helps you to understand and be understood. Effective communications overcomes misconceptions and misunderstandings, bridging differences, and uniting people towards a common goal. Ineffective communication squanders people’s precious time and attention, becomes the elevator music of the internet, and inadvertently patronises and insults the very people it’s seeking to attract.

Whether you’re looking for brand storytelling or messaging strategy, stakeholder relations and internal communications, vision, mission, values and manifesto, I can help.

Regardless of your industry or the nature of your business, effective communication is essential to all business functions. 

Digital communications comes with its own unique challenges. Yes, we can reach more people with online communications than ever before. Yes, geography isn’t as much of a hindrance that it once was. Yes, communications technology is getting better and cheaper than ever before.

But the digital world can be fraught with miscommunications and wasted pixels. With none of the visual and non-verbal cues and clues of face-to-face communication, digital communication can be difficult. Nuances are often lost. Humour can miss the mark. Tone-of-voice becomes supremely important. And highly specific, just-in-time relevance and timing is crucial. 

Digital communications are also crowded and cluttered. People often consume multiple pieces of content on multiple devices at the same time. Winning people’s attention (especially when you have 20 internet browser tabs open, or you’re trying hard to read while also attempting to hold yourself upright on public transport and not fall into the lap of the stranger next to you) is pivotal.
