New strategy in mind?
Let’s write the story together.

Get in touch

Good communication closes the gap between plan and action. Be it in a product project, positioning, transformation or transaction.

Mindoffer

Communication work for strategies is work on a change of perspective. In the beginning there is the plan. Everything very rational. Lots of figures, lots of reasons to convince management boards, supervisory boards and investors.

Then there is the language, the requirements and the emotions of the other stakeholders. Managers, employees, customers, business partners, NGOs. And increasingly, attention is shifting to these recipients of communication.

Because they are supposed to endorse the strategy or act on its behalf.

The Core Narrative: What you get

Develop

The Core Narrative contains the core of the entire story and communication. It consists of modules that are developed in a stringent process with the clients. The result with all facts, contents and statements is reduced to one or two pages, plus further information on arguments, contact persons, data etc.

Train

Success is based on personal trust through competence and sympathy. To achieve this, the strategy story must become one's own in terms of language and presentation style. For this purpose, texts and presentations are worked on in sparring sessions until the person and the cause have become one in a credible way. Because a project is only ever bought into if it comprises the person who represents it in a convincing way.

Implement

Texts for key messages or presentations are a basis of argumentation and communication. But not only the words count, visual language is just as important. It speaks to our emotions through illustrations, images and videos and anchors communication in our memory. Good strategic communication is therefore based on both text and visual language.

Managing

Effective communication follows a precise plan with its own strategy, designation of time and resources and creative measures - plus professional project management. We are happy to develop the right plan for strategy communication for, and together with, our clients.
