It’s a question corporate communications professionals confront daily—what’s your message? Whether your communications team is working on issues related to COVID-19, managing a social media presence, or sending a memo to employees, it is always important to have that question guide your writing.
When crafting your message, here are some key points to keep in mind:
- Who is your audience?
- What is your goal/objective?
- What specifics do you want to convey?
- What is your time frame?
- How will the message be delivered?
- What challenges will you face?
- How can you measure its success?
Just taking a few moments before tackling your next project to answer these questions, or sketch out a road map, will help to make your message more clear and concise, and resonate with your audience.
