How do you make planning exciting?

While writing a guide to internal communication for one of our clients, the subject of communication planning had to be included. Conveying planning as exciting as briefing agencies or making podcasts proved a tall order. Inevitably, a manager is going to find writing a plan a lot less interesting than actually communicating, we thought.. but then that came to be the point. The communications plan is the first communication so make it simple, easy to follow, really clear to your audiences and present it with a flourish…of course.

If you would like a generic internal communication plan format, that really does make it easy, let us know. No-one ever said it was difficult, just that it tended to be a bit boring. Not anymore.

Big welcome to baby Mia AND to the two micro pigs now living in Sarah’s garden.

Coffee Upstairs

We are taking part in Macmillan Cancer Support’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning by hosting a virtual cafe online. Why? Because all of us have been affected in some way by cancer. Right now, we are thinking especially of a good friend of Upstairs.

What can you do?

Give the price of a coffee at your local cafe right here, via our Just Giving page. Your donation will go straight to Macmillan to help them help those with cancer and their families.

What will we do?

We’ve bought a round of coffees already… Plus, for every individual that comments on this blog up until the end of October we’ll buy you a coffee – donating the cost of a very good cappuccino in leafy Hampton (£1.89 takeaway) to Macmillan’s.

By starting a conversation over coffee, you’ll not only be avoiding a (frankly unnecessary) caffeine rush, we’ll also be giving some money to a great cause, no matter what you say…
