Effective Writing for Corporate Communications (Half Day)
(Half Day Workshop)
Workshop Description
Too often, your company communications are a variation of “Our company is great! Our products and services are terrific!” In other words, you write about everything except what customers really want to hear. Great company messaging engages your customers and makes them want to connect with your brand.
This is a deep topic, so this workshop covers the essentials. You will learn about the key aspects you need to know to develop effective company messages, including writing styles and voice, speaking like your audience, a best-in-class approval process, and the role chatbots can have in the mix.
This workshop is an excerpt of the ANA full day workshop “Effective Writing for Corporate Communications”
