Public Relations
PR is all about managing and promoting the reputation of an organisation and it is one of our core skills. It might be a positive strategy in support of a product or service; it might be about managing crisis communications or it might simply be sharing some good news and setting up a photo opportunity. Whatever it is, we can provide you with the strategy, ideas, structure and the right words to manage your PR quickly and effectively. To do this we will find out the nature of the problem, listen a lot, come up with recommendations and then get on with the job.
Writing
We write copy for anything from web sites, blogs, twitter feeds and advertisements to newsletters and magazines. Our job is to turn what is trapped in the mind of a customer into short, sharp copy that delivers the right message in a timely manner. We ghost regular columns for clients in regional newspapers and trade journals, update blogs and twitter feeds on demand and often to very tight deadlines. We believe that ‘old fashioned’ journalism is still alive, but just using different mediums.
Editing
Frank & Brown produces stakeholder magazines on behalf of its clients; acts as editor on two in-house magazines and Andrew Brown is consultant editor of FMX. We work in partnership with our clients to agree the strategic direction of the magazines or newsletters; we provide design, print and production services and will manage the advertising support as well. Our work with Alfred McAlpine won the IBP in house magazine of the year category; View, which we produce for Constructing Excellence in Wales, is into its third year and FMX is one of the leading trade titles in facilities management.
Training
Everyone needs a bit of sharpening up from time to time and we run training sessions that cover basic writing skills; writing for the media; media handling and crisis & incident management. We try to make them fun as well as informative. We will prepare bespoke training in partnership with our clients where ever possible and we often work in partnership with Magnus Carter, Tanya Lewis or Emmanuel Aharoni.
Project Management
When the project is too big for you or your team to handle then outsource it to us. Whether it is a rebranding project, a new web site, or your corporate magazine – we can work with you, agree a brief and deliver the project within an agreed timescale and budget. We have done all sorts of project management from re-branding exercises and running events through to setting up web sites, intranets, launching magazines and managing a video from concept to production.
Internal Communications
Whether you need to manage some form of internal campaign, a one off project or just talk through how you can motivate, inspire and engage with your colleagues and employees – we can help. We use our PR, project management and writing skills to support the HR department and senior management to deliver a key message to staff in your organisation.
