Skills
CommunicationsThe static for a messenger to penetrate has never been greater so knowing how to effectively disseminate a message has never been more important. There are key elements of communication that are needed to grab attention with the few seconds you have. This is where design, digital and marketing come into play.
DesignA consistent visual identity is key to any good communications strategy. The use of the same visual elements, such as colors, logos, and template styles will allow the consumer to know what they are looking at in a split second. This assists the messenger in getting through the noise when the consumer is being bombarded.
DigitalWeb and mobile play a massive role in the dissemination of news, beliefs and ideas today. With more than 85% of Americans getting their news online, and that number consistently rising, the majority of people will be looking to their computer or phone for information, not traditional sources such as television and newspapers.
MarketingWhat is the goal? What does success look like? Where are the people that I want to reach? — These are the questions to begin with in a marketing brief when planning for a campaign. Without these answered, there is no way to know how to reach the consumer, calculate the return on investment or determine if a campaign was successful.
