Join us for an engaging and practical Lunch & Learn with Nancy Lord and Jess Gill, communications strategists with decades of experience helping organizations clarify their message and connect with their audiences.
Communications, branding, and marketing are often treated as separate efforts, but the most effective storytelling happens when they work together. In this interactive session, Nancy and Jess will help demystify how these elements connect and show you how to bring them into alignment so your message is clear, consistent, and compelling.
Through conversation, shared examples, and practical takeaways, you’ll explore how to approach communications, branding, and marketing as one cohesive strategy rather than a collection of disconnected tactics.
In this session, you will:
Understand how communications, branding, and marketing work together to tell a unified story
Learn practical strategies to clarify your message and strengthen audience connection
Explore tools and approaches to support effective planning and execution
Get your questions answered by experienced communications leaders
To ensure we can go ahead, we need a minimum of 5 registrations.
Your timely RSVP helps us create a valuable and engaging experience for all attendees.
