~ Social Media Synergy: Unlocking Professional Growth, Business Visibility, and Global Impact Social media serves as a powerful force for personal and professional growth. Platforms like LinkedIn connect individuals globally, fostering networking, collaboration, and career opportunities. Professionals can showcase their expertise, establishing credibility. For businesses, social media is a vital tool for brand visibility. Engaging content on platforms like Facebook attracts customers and provides real-time feedback, helping refine products or services based on customer preferences. Beyond the professional and business spheres, social media impacts education, nonprofits, and emergency response. Educational institutions use it for knowledge dissemination, while nonprofits raise awareness and mobilize support. In emergencies, social media enables rapid information dissemination, aiding in coordinated relief efforts. #professionaldevelopment #industryinsights #hiring #networkingopportunities #careeradvancement #thoughtleadership #businessnetworking #Skillshowcase #collaboration #expertisesharing #careeropportunities

Effective #communications is transformative. It is the foundation on which many successful businesses are built. Developing relationships with stakeholders, colleagues, investors, the media and policymakers pays dividends. Good communications impacts the bottom line through building and protecting a business’s #reputation. But. It can’t do any of this if it’s squirreled away in some forgotten corner of the back office. Being ‘reactive’. I find it staggering that many businesses think it sensible to hire a bunch of talented people who are expected to twiddle their thumbs waiting for something, anything to occur. If the comms function isn’t represented in the room where it happens, that’s a problem. Believe me, there are few things more frustrating than finding out about what’s going on because you get a call from a journalist asking about it. And then having to defend a decision you know nothing about. A decision that might never been made with wise communications counsel. My advice? Give the comms team a seat at the table and listen. It’s transformative. #opentowork

Applause for Alex Hunter; this is absolutely true! Including your internal Comm folks in company-wide decisions is key to building your success — don’t forget that you’ve hired awesome Comms talent for a reason👏 Need help integrating your Comms team into the bigger company picture or looking for some outside communication-focused counsel? Email our team of Comm experts at [email protected] to find out how we can help you capitalize on the power of communication science in your industry!
