Dave Griffiths Communications
Writing/Editing, Media Training and Writing Instruction
Dave Griffiths Communications is both a writing service that can help you frame and deliver your message, and a media training consultant who can show you how to deal productively with the press. He works on the premise that no matter how compelling the content of what you have to write or say, you risk losing your readers -- or not getting their attention in the first place -- if you can't communicate effectively and with lasting impact. Dave can do the writing and editing, or he can help you sharpen your own skills via seminars or one-on-one coaching.
The same goes for public relations media training, whether drafting press releases, doing media outreach or preparing yourself for crisis communications. Calling on 35 years in journalism and teaching, Dave Griffiths can train you via realistic role-playing keyed to your business, nonprofit or government agency -- without the fees of a large agency.
What's In It For You:
- The astounding pace of technological change doesn't alter one elementary fact of life -- the need to write clearly and concisely. Indeed, like it or not, email makes writers out of all of us.
- Effective business communications are the key to successful management, whether you're reaching out to shareholders, clients, customers, vendors, employees or the media. And if you write well, you'll be a much more effective public speaker and presenter.
- To get your message out there, you must understand how reporters and editors and television producers work, and the mutual gain for both sides of any media encounter. We can help you get there with role-playing on camera individually or in groups.
- Communicating in a crisis doesn't have to be a public relations pitfall -- not if you're prepared. In fact, it can be an opportunity to improve your image and sharpen your message.
