Our Approach as a
Strategic & Crisis
Communications Firm
As a major part of our approach, we conduct a series of interviews and perform in-depth research to draft a strategic communications plan. This plan serves as a living document that is regularly updated to reflect changes or new events, issues or message points. Our methods and progress are upfront and clear for you to see.
Our Strategy
The core of everything we do is built from intense research, a comprehensive plan and messaging. From these building blocks, we utilize, write or design the appropriate tailored content, events, activities and distribution to help you cultivate the best brand, relationships and growth opportunities.
Additionally, our competitive audits and communications reviews allow you to improve by tracking your competitors' actions and unlocking the strategies that will work for you. From our analysis, we can determine the effectiveness of your existing communications, identify strengths and weaknesses and make recommendations or improvements.
Our First Step
We firmly believe that a goal without a plan is just a wish. Our first step involves conducting in-depth research, holding interviews, and utilizing existing information and finding other available resources to draft a detailed strategic communications plan. This plan will serve as a living document that will be regularly updated to reflect new or updated events, issues or messages.
If your business or organization does not have clear message points or brand, we conduct Chamberlayne Inc. Deep Dive Sessions, which are team-building and workshop-like exercises that engage key leadership and staff, to help you establish better messaging, branding and storytelling. From these sessions, we put together strategic communications and campaign plans that help extrapolate what your core message is, who your target audience is and the best way to communicate with them.
