When someone signs up to your email newsletter regard it as one of the biggest compliments you will receive in business.

But watch out, winning people’s trust and business via email is getting harder.

Greater regulation, concerns about privacy and our frenetic Attention Economy means you will need to deploy all your communications nous to cut through the media noise.

Authentic communication is a noble and righteous endeavour. 

But being authentic has to be more than a company catch phrase. There needs to be a real connection between how an organisation speaks about its endeavours and what it does in practice. 

How do you feel, for instance, when you see a stunningly shot commercial with a moving story, only to find the ad is flogging insurance? It jars.

Be it corporate social responsibility or social purpose, connecting brands with deeper meaning has become a busy marketplace.

​As such, there is a widening gulf between those companies that are making a heartfelt connection with audiences and those that are essentially engaged in a cynical marketing exercise.
