COMMUNICATE TO RESONATE:
10 Trends You Need to Know and Navigate Now

Thursday, July 13, 2023
1-2 p.m. ET

Internal Communications • Employee Communications • Executive Communications • HR Communications • Corporate Culture • Strategic Communications • Employee Engagement

Let’s face it: Communicators struggle with breaking through the noise to drive meaningful audience engagement. Why? Audiences are suffering from information inundation and platform proliferation, not to mention the pile-on effect of multiple, layered crises and issues over the past three years. And they are tuning out. The result is that the most vital information can get buried, ignored or simply overlooked. So, how can we ensure that the right information is getting to — and through — our audiences?

Join us on July 13 for this FREE webinar as SPI Group’s (a Ruder Finn Company) Executive Vice President Trish Nicolas uncovers the top 10 trends you need now to achieve your corporate goals, be active stewards of the audience experience, and achieve optimum audience engagement and communications performance. Among the 10 trends she’ll reveal:

  • Why we need to stop contributing to the output pile-on and how to do it in a way that serves your brand, business and audiences.
  • Why dynamic, centered storytelling is not only a trend — it’s an imperative to drive engagement.
  • What “meeting your audiences where they are at” means, why it is vital, and how to do it.
  • Why “mixternal” communications is not new … and no longer an option.
  • How emerging technologies can enhance engagement and storytelling.
  • And more.
