This blog post answers the questions I get asked most frequently, along with some added comments and insights. There’s nothing like being there for a group of people who love the company they work for and helping them better communicate and connect with their stakeholders. So start a blog.

I had an interesting (to me) exchange of thoughts with a reader of my own blog recently on the subject of person-to-person communication.

With more agencies using their website, blog, and social media platforms to showcase what they do best, it’s much easier to quickly narrow down top contenders.

In an office, you can lean over and ask a question; with remote working you need to IM, Skype, WhatsApp, Teams, Slack, or email. With everything else going on, decompressing is key. Lack of face time.
