communications for cyber
Cyber people are brilliant at what they do and terrible at explaining it.
(No offense, love you all)
Comms for cyber
I speak hacker, nerd, corporate, marketing and boardroom. I know what they need to do their job, and what I do best is translating all of that into nerd or homo ordinarius (the non-hacker human), with a sticky message.
Crisis
Hard enough on its own, crisis comms in cyber is an art form (I really really love art). The puzzle is, what do you say without saying too much? Balancing transparency, responsibility and unfortunately, liability, and somewhere in all of that you still want to be honest. With the right words and the right strategy people stay with you the whole time, and you're the one telling the story instead of battling all the speculation.
Strategy
If you're not solving a problem, you're just keeping yourself busy. People have great ideas, but how do you position them? Have you thought about what your end user or client actually needs & wants? Not you trying to sell your awesome idea. It's not about you, it's about them, and people keep forgetting that. So that's where I come in.
