You’re a Corporate Communications Executive who’s fighting the epidemic of busy-work, and you cringe when C-suite executives question the value of communications, or worse, ask only for tactics. If only you could get to the strategic work you know will TRULY make a difference to the business. If only .... ✔️ You could circumvent random requests for press releases, employee messages or [insert tactical request here]. ✔️Your internal business partners would clue you in to the newsworthy stuff earlier so you could create a strategic plan. ✔️Your peers understood you’re a critical business function that can partner with them to achieve their goals, not simply “get publicity” or “send emails to employees”. ✔️Your team members had skills and tools to elevate their work as advisors, not only product-producers. Because you know that doing work that’s not connected to business goals feels like throwing darts blindfolded … and sometimes the dart board isn’t even there. You have the skills to fight these battles, but you’re exhausted and are ready to bring in a communications consultant partner to lighten the strategic load and make an impact – showing the C-Suite how strategic communications delivers on the bottom-line. You want someone who understands the corporate world. Someone who's been there too. With the right support, you know your team can: ✔️Proactively partner with peer departments ✔️ Move business goals forward with Strategic Communications approaches ✔️ Start hearing requests from business areas for support to achieve business goals, not support for communications tactics ✔️Get invited into that decision-making table, consistently. I partner with Communications Executives to stop the dart game, remove the blindfolds, and find joy in the accomplishment that comes from solid contributions that protect and advance the brand and impact the business. I know how to do this because I've been you. I led Corporate Communications functions for major brands. I learned how to turn the communications function into the role of trusted business advisor. I get where you’re coming from and know that "it's not that simple" ... really, I do. I get it because I've been there too. In me, you'll find a partner to help lighten the load and change the conversation to elevate your department's reputation. Ready to stop the cycle? Send a message. Let's talk.
