NEED A CUSTOMIZED COMMUNICATIONS GUIDELINES & MEDIA TRAINING BOOKLET FOR YOUR SCHOOL OR ORGANIZATION?
Imagine having one resource for your school or organization that includes all of your institutional communications guidelines as well as a media training best practice guide. Leveraging the content in the book, we work in collaboration with clients to create such a resource that can be distributed throughout your organization. The guide can consist of:
• Select sections of media training content highlighted in “Maximize Your Impact”.
• Your internal communications policies.
• The key messaging of your school or organization.
• Available resources (such as institutional social media feeds, photos, websites, etc).
• Messages from senior leadership on the importance of external communications for your organization with the goal of generating buy-in from professors, researchers and others.
Such a resource is invaluable to cascading your communications strategy, mobilizing your colleagues and providing relevant education.
WORKSHOPS FOR YOUR SCHOOL OR ORGANIZATION
The book itself is based on the curriculum from our different trainings and research over the years. Training academics is the most efficient, economic and effective means to increase an organization’s visibility. Our trainings focus on how academics from different disciples can communicate to public audiences. We customize each workshop so it resonates with the particular audience. Here is just a sampling of some of the feedback:
"The media training sessions provided by Experiential Communications were interactive, effective and highly enjoyable. Kevin has a polished but informal and approachable training style that worked really well for our team. We are already implementing many of the ready-to-use ideas we discussed and have set in motion several longer-term initiatives identified during the sessions.”
“Whether you are considering Kevin’s services for help with messaging strategy or for media training, I give him my highest possible recommendation. Kevin’s work is consistently outstanding.”
“Kevin Anselmo provided our faculty members with an all-day training workshop on the use of social media to advance their research efforts. Throughout the workshop he continually provided new insights on how these platforms can be used to expand one’s impact and visibility. Some of our faculty are quite media savvy, but even the most knowledgeable were learning many new things from Kevin. He is very good at reading his audience and moving things along at the right pace to keep everyone engaged.”
"Kevin is an absolute professional. We invited him to speak at a training for a group of young social entrepreneurs. He provided helpful tips on how to effectively tailor a message to a variety of audiences, including the media, funders and the general public. He was very flexible and tailored his presentation to our specific group. I absolutely recommend working with Kevin and Experiential Communications!”
