When you need to understand what you’re really saying in the world, I can help. You might be amazed at the insights a thorough review of your communications can reveal.
When your organization speaks, what do your communities hear?
When it really matters what your work means in the world, a communications audit can provide crucial insight about what you’re actually saying — and what it means to the people you care about. A communications audit provides crucial insight for strategic planning, marketing and branding work, development and capacity-building, and change management projects.
From audit to action
Mr. Chudgar reached out to 19 civic leaders … to discuss the Minnesota media landscape, the state of public policy debate in our communities, and the Citizens League’s own place in what comes next. The result of these conversations led to a polished report Mr. Chudgar wrote that included recommendations that we plan to put into action. … The depth of his work was critical to our future planning.
