Our approach
We work from a single perspective - communication is the response you get.
Far too much time is spent thinking about the message and not enough about the outcome you are trying to produce through communication. And if there isn't a measurable outcome then you're simply wasting money.
This is a post-modern world - people can and do examine what they think is behind a message. They draw interpretations and make inferences about what they're seeing and hearing. They discuss these with friends and colleagues and influence each other's views.
Nowhere is this more prevalent than inside organisations. Your internal audience is the hardest one to work with - often the most critical and distrusting, certainly the most difficult to please and usually the most misunderstood.
We work with communications issues that both business leaders and professional communications people face. Unlike many agencies, our experience comes from working inside organisations so we know the pressures and what will work.
Grand statements and lovelification have little business impact if they don't enable each person to see how they fit in and motivate them to contribute. Only by helping each person make this link will business performance be improved. We help you achieve this and become a key enabler of organisational performance.
We help you develop all aspects of communication. From large-scale strategies and integrated communications planning for major corporate initiatives through to ways of improving communications within teams and coaching and developing the communication and influence skills for individual leaders and managers.
We use a simple model to inform our work with you - one that's transparent, tried and tested.
We'll work with you to turn communications into an enabler of business success and an engine for change. Transforming the contribution you make and are seen to make. Tracking the change that you're generating and helping you define and measure the impact you have on the business.
We also work with clients to help their internal communications drive brand delivery. Supporting brand alignment can be a tricky one. Do those posters listing the brand values have any effect? Why do they keep sending guidelines for the font and logo colours? Getting brand communications wrong inside your organisation can be a big turn off for what should be a big motivator for your people. It's such an important area with such potential for business impact that it's dedicated part of our service.
