The talk overview

In this time of so many transitions in the business world, the authenticity in the direction, ai, delivery, authorship and performance of a business or brand can create a greater path of awareness, presence and profit.

By considering a series of touch points and shifts online and off that have changed the landscape of how we share, how we market and how we connect with others, bringing it back to the foundation of the message can allow for a better build of content, marketing and compliance to allow for the highest levels of exposure for a business, while spending the least amount of money achieving that positioning.

The Authentic messaging strategies for transitioning businesses workshop is a 60 minute talk that focuses on the root brand messaging touch points that include:

Actionable strategic tactics you can apply and explore yourself.
Connecting with elements and touch points that can be implemented into content.
A demystifying and deconstructing of marketing methodologies that may not be working for you and how to personalize them for you.

Product and service descriptions
Content that spans blogs, quotes, videos, audios, reviews and links
Interview information lead sheets for earned media
As well as subsidiary and vicarious stories for media and press

Online legal aspects of dotting I’s and crossing T’s for website documentation.
Social media optimization, compliance and continuity.
Brand messaging audits and discovery using the C’s: Competitive to Comparisons, Compliance to Continuity, Control to Contempt, and Cadence to Conviction.

Closing the talk

When the foundation of the brand messaging and story is your story and not a story.

When the content is developed as creatively as it is strategically.

When the hype, hearsay, half truths, expired truths, opinions and facts are vetted carefully.

When the strategy is personalized with authority, humility and integrity.

It can allow for a messaging strategy that can effectively span the array of engagement with existing customers, new customers, those that have heard of you in passing as well as earned media and press release placement.

Some of the concepts take a sharp turn from many of the hype and guru style coaching that is often associated with branding and marketing. The goal is to step out of someone else’s box to see what path, tone, message and direction is suited and tailored for you.
