Are your messages misfiring?

“They misinterpreted the message”

“You just don’t understand”

“Don’t you read your emails?”

“How many times do I have to tell you?”

“I even showed you a PowerPoint presentation!”

Most people in a corporate environment tend to believe that they are ‘a good communicator’.

Trouble is, it’s not up to the communicator to decide. If a presentation, video, brochure, website, blog is not understood and acted upon, it’s the fault of the one delivering the communication; not the one receiving it. This is why so many messages are not acted upon, or misfire completely.

How to get ACTION from your Communication

If you convey a message … but nothing changes, then you may have just wasted your time. Every time you communicate it’s usually to create or in response to ‘change’. The purpose is to achieve a corresponding change in habits, attitudes and work processes.

And to do this, there are six things we help you consider:

TRANSMISSION

RECEPTION

MESSAGE

ENCODING

INTERFERENCE

DECODING

We won’t bore you with all the details on how we do this here, but just imagine how much easier life would be if we could communicate using telepathy …

We could work out what MESSAGE we wanted to TRANSMIT … because we’d be conveying pure thought, ENCODING and DECODING the message wouldn’t be necessary … RECEPTION would be perfect and free of any INTERFERENCE, allowing our idea to be send and received perfectly and without misinterpretation.

Sadly (well, lucky for us … or we’d be out of business) life isn’t quite like that.

We help you with all these factors to get your message across.

Why Communications ‘Consultancy’?

You know how a videographer sells you video … a web-designer sells you web design … a designer sells you a brochure … and so on? Well, we sell YOU. Your message … your products and services … your idea … your brand. We put your business objective first and then ‘sell’ your message. The objective comes first, the medium or how we convey it comes second.
