Everything a business presents to the outside world is communication: brand, appearance, advertising materials, measures – and behavior. Often, a lot is commissioned, a lot is done, a lot is published. And yet the question remains: What actually gets through? And does it align with what this business stands for?

 

In my corporate communications consulting, I make precisely that visible – quickly and clearly. I've been working in this field for 30 years. I can see whether a presentation works. Whether color, form, design, text, image, sound, and structure express the intended message. And whether this results in a profile that is authentic – and distinctive.

For example, I provide support in the following areas:
• Existing presentation: What works? What gets diluted? What no longer fits – and why?
• New branding / start-up: What do you stand for – and how do you communicate that to the outside world before investing money in design, website and content?
• Individual campaigns & measures: Whether website relaunch, launch campaign, social media series, advertising material or PR campaign: What is the message, what is the logic behind it – and what really works?

Some things are good. Those will stay. Some things are over. Those can go. Some things are missing. Those need something new.

And: Collaboration with graphic designers, copywriters, and agencies only works with clarity. It requires criteria, clear decisions, and briefings that aren't shrouded in mystery. Only then will you achieve a result that isn't "off the mark" but truly reflects what you want—and who you are.

Communication isn't just external. It's internal too: How do people speak? How are things clarified? How are decisions made? If there are problems there, there are often problems externally as well.

Ultimately, clarity emerges: as the beginning of a new way of presenting oneself to the outside world – with priorities, next steps, and direction. And yes: with joy, too.
