Tips on stakeholder relations
Having carefully identified who you should be communicating with and having developed a plan, it is important to test what works for you and make any adjustments. M Power has been publishing a monthly e-newsletter for six years. This is issue 72 of arguably the most-copied e-newsletter (yes, we’re flattered) in the country. Because we are professional communicators, we think it is important that we test other strategies so we can advise our clients from first-hand experience. And so, we are exploring new frontiers and this will be the last of the monthly version of The M Powerer. You can read all 71 past issues on our website here. There are years of tips on all aspects of public relations and professional communication among other topics. There are also dozens of book reviews. We hope they empower you and your business.
