    At the time of recording this episode, the world is experiencing a one in a hundred year event with the global pandemic that is COVID-19. Businesses all over the planet are struggling with many things – the most noticeable from the outside being their communication. So this week, we invited a crisis comms expert on the podcast to guide us all through approaching business comms when things get turned upside down. Anna Rogan is a foolhardy olive farmer and stubbornly creative copywriter who specialises in personality-driven website and email copy for small biz owners. Anna has a BA in psychology, a post-grad in writing and a decade-long career in comms and media roles for some pretty big brands under her belt. And though she hails from a background in crisis comms, these days she mainly writes for purpose-driven, heart-led, socially-conscious small business owners and entrepreneurs. In this episode we talked about: • The standard format to follow when crafting crisis comms. • Tapping into empathy to guide communication during a crisis – especially for businesses that tend to be more transactional. • Finding the balance in your comms between business as usual and ‘business unusual'. • Respecting brand tone of voice during a crisis. • Tips for communicating with teams and stakeholders when you're working remotely.

    Talk about a ripper topic — Employee Experience (EX) is all the rage this year.  BUT it shouldn't be mistaken as another business buzzword.  It's actually one of the elements that businesses of all sizes can use to differentiate themselves in an age where standing out is getting harder and harder to do. That's why we called in EX expert! Kerrie Brown is a seasoned Employee Experience professional who has spent the last decade (and some!) of her career helping companies build inspiring workplace cultures. She knows how to play strategically and tactically, and is most happy when challenging the status quo in organisations.  She's worked her EX magic in big complex organisations like Colgate-Palmolive and GWF, fast-paced fin-tech startups, and an award-winning employee experience company.  Kerrie blends her commercial smarts with a human-centred approach to deliver engaging people solutions for all things people, performance, safety, leadership and communication.  In this episode we chatted to Kerrie about:  • What is Employee Experience (is it basically CX for employees)?  • How EX is linked to CX?  • Why do businesses need to pay attention to EX metrics?  • Does belong to any one department?  • What part does EX play in the hiring process?  • How does EX work for remote workers?  • Tips on setting up solid EX foundations within an organisation.  Connect with Kerrie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerrie-brown Recs: How it feels to float by Helena Fox Rowan of Rin by Jennifer Rowe Bossypants by Tina Fey Writers of Silicon Valley podcast (episode with Tamara Hilmes from Spotify) by Patrick Stafford

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 7, 2019 73:13


    We took another trip down memory lane this week and talked about how businesses used to use brand reps/influencer marketing to grow during the golden days of Instagram. Most of these principles still apply today and we cover off what you can learn from how things use to be done and how you can apply those learnings today. Four goals to consider when working with influencers: 1. Top level - there's social proof. • Big accounts. • Pay for the post so you can get social proof (aka credibility) for your business. • You're paying for getting seen as a legit business rather than a garage project. • This can be worth it because big names are connected to other big names and you become a trusted source. 2. There's reach & brand awareness. • Very similar to paying for social proof is paying for reach & brand awareness. • Even accounts that are “only” in the tens of thousands can play a big part in helping you get reach and raise brand awareness. • Show up in that person's feed a few times and already your reach and brand awareness is stronger than paying for a cold advertising audience. 3. There's content creation. • This is a great option for time poor businesses. • Unlike the two strategies we previously mentioned, this one doesn't need to involve accounts with big followings. • What you're looking for here is content creation skills that are better than yours. • The idea here is to offload the content creation work. 4. There are sales. • Sales are a bi-product of all of the above + the quality of your product. • Be careful tying yourself to sales as the end metric. • You need to build trust with an influencer's audience, before they start buying from you in bulk.

And no wonder – it's taking the tech, startup and business world by storm.  While it may be a niche area to focus on, in this episode you'll hear about all the things customer and user experience actually covers. You might be surprised! Some practical takeaways from this episode: - Have someone do an audit of all current customer comms (what is going out, frequency, etc). - Map it out in a Google sheet or even draw it all out as a storyboard on a whiteboard. - ID content gaps or double ups. - Look at the tone of the comms – is it conveying what you want to be portraying? - Create a comms guide for consistency (not meant to be a straight-jacket!) - Apply it to all remaining comms.
