Describe what you do (in your own words):
It’s probably best described as strategic communications advice. It’s a bit of all of:
- future-gazing
- a lot of research, writing and investigation into clients’ businessand how they communicate – both internally an across the wall to their clients, customers and stakeholders
- a lot of talking and listening around that research
- best approaches, what to do and not to do
- a touch of marketing
- a big spoonful of evangelism and mentoring
- risk analysis and risk mitigation
- engaging people while working with clients and making sure they areable to keep them engaged after I’m gone
