Greetings!
In the race for public attention, check your engines: Social media may be the communications tool that revs up your approaches and takes you from zero to 60. This month, we look at one foundation's approach to a revved-up annual report that's all-online and no-holds-barred. I hope it gives you ideas!
My own roadmap this month has included pit stops to train scientists at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in a workshop sponsored by AAAS and NSF...to address Washington's Law Firm Media Professionals on using social media for communications...and helping 3 univerisities develop plans for integrating social media into their current array of communications. Many of our clients are using the fall to plan the road ahead, using our services in communications planning, speaker and media training, and message development. Can we help you rev up your communications engine? Contact us at info@dontgetcaught.biz.
Sincerely,
President |
| Revved-Up Annual Report Goes All-Online
Forget the Flat PDF. This Report Hits the Road Running! |
 Any communications director who's struggling with adapting new- and social-media tools to their array of tactics should take a break and check out the Missouri Foundation for Health's new all-online annual report, which mixes gaming, animation, video and putting the reader in the driver's seat to power a roadtrip-themed annual report. The don't get caught news & info blog offers this analysis of what works in the adaptation, including the skilful message development at the core of this report. |
| Your Next Speech: A Cornucopia of Tips
The Eloquent Woman Tackles Advice from Food to Fashion |
 We have a feast's worth of tips this month on the Eloquent Woman blog, where we answer a reader's question about how women can signal they're ready to get "down to business" without rolling up their sleeves...find a report that suggests you can reduce your anxiety before speaking by taking vitamin C...and share advice from the audio guy about what not to wear if you want your mic to work well. Plus, we look at a Jerusalem Post columnist who explains why she thinks women make good speakers while offering excellent tips for holding an audience's attention.
In the new year, we'll be launching Eloquent Woman workshops to help women gain the skills they need to improve their speaking skills. To find out more, email us at info@dontgetcaught.biz. |
