Building a Reputation
Corporate communication encompasses methods and processes in promoting a
company’s credentials, its positioning pitch and its acceptability in the marketplace. It
involves a series of planned, interconnected activities and programs to communicate
and engage with internal employees and externally with partners, customers and
other stakeholders. Corporate communication helps highlight a company’s annual
earnings and achievements, its roster of products and services and its philanthropy
and community outreach efforts. The intent at all times is to project a unified
message and a consistent corporate identity.
Building an Influence
The top management or key business executives play an influential and nuanced
role in shaping the corporate communication agenda of an organization. The
communications team will follow their lead, and often use higher-ups and top
management as part of their campaigns. Management can offer strategic inputs and
suggestions to fine-tune specific programs and communicate key organizational
highlights. The communications team takes these insights and translates them for
their audience of clients, customers and employees. The relationship between upper
management and the communications team is vital to sharing corporate wins.
The vision, mission and core values should always shine through all corporate
communication activities. For example, if your company’s vision is to always use
sustainable materials in your products, you can expand on that idea in the way you
distribute corporate communications. Instead of printing out memos, send them via
email. Focus on creating marketing brochures on recycled paper or donate funds to
environmental charities.
