Our range of communications support services takes you all the way through from learning how to improve your own in-house communications work through tailored training sessions, through to actually doing the work for you on a project or retained basis.
Training
We can offer off-the-shelf or bespoke training programmes to be delivered for you in-house. This is often more cost-effective, productive and targeted than sending individual members of staff out to external conferences and training events. Find out more about our workshops here.
Persuading and educating – the case for engaging with social media
Many organisations choose to bring an external speaker in to help persuade and educate senior managers and other colleagues on the opportunities for using social and digital media and to help gain support for developments in this area. We can support you through creative presentations and through helping you put together your case for support for using social and digital media.
Thinking
Many people like to have a little external support to help them with creative ideas generation and communications strategy. We can work with you on a project or a retained basis to help develop new and different marketing-communications ideas for your organisation or products. We also offer small businesses a low-cost ‘recommendations’ service from £500 + VAT to help them get started with ideas for using social and digital media to promote their business and communicate more effectively with customers.
Planning
We don’t just think for you and help you develop your own ideas. We can also help turn those ideas into a reality by developing SMART communications plans, working within the resources that you have available and putting a feasible plan into place. See our social media strategy section for more information.
Friendly advice and support
We also offer a ‘hand-holding’ service to provide support, advice and creative input while you develop your own social media strategy. This service enables you to keep costs down by doing most the work in-house, but having full access to our knowledge and creativity to support you on your way. This service is a combination of workshops, providing resources, and brainstorming support and critical input and evaluation.
Doing
Not everyone wants to manage their communications activities in-house. On a retained or a project basis we can support your organisation by doing some or all of your communications for you:
- copywriting (including for print publications – we don’t just do ‘online’!)
- social media monitoring
- managing social media spaces
- content creation
- building and developing blogs
- producing online slideshows (slidecasts)
- producing podcasts and videos.
