As a full service communications firm, Communicate & Howe! can assist in a wide variety of ways to help you communicate your key messages and achieve your goals and objectives.
We are “Your Communications Department”
We consider ourselves the communications department for organizations without professional, strategic communications expertise in-house or whose internal communications team could use some help. We help give non-profits, charities, arts and culture organizations and small businesses the competitive advantage they require in getting the attention of their target audiences and achieving results.
We take care of the full range of your communications needs-everything from print to your online presence and social media. We connect your target audience with what you want them to know and do. We have the skills and expertise to help you achieve your marketing communications and your public relations objectives.
We start with a strategy
We prefer to start by creating a communications strategy that guides what you should be doing and saying. We also offer marketing communications, online or social media strategies.
Your strategy is a stand alone document that you can implement yourself, with other vendors, with our help or any combination of the three. We prefer to work with clients long term if possible and so we offer you three customized implementation packages to help you learn firsthand the benefits of working with Communicate & Howe! as “your communications department.”
What we do
Tools we use to help you implement your strategy include:
- social media - Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, blogging, etc.
- print publications - brochures, newsletters, annual reports, etc.
- writing/editing/proofreading
- public relations / media relations
- websites
- photography
- advertising
- graphic design including visual identity (logo, business cards, letterhead, etc.)
We also offer workshops and are open to speaking engagements.
We can make any communications project sing
Anything that we do to implement our communications strategies is a service that we offer to you a la carte!
We are eager to take any communication project that you may have and use our talents, skills and expertise to deliver a higher quality product than what is possible with your internal resources. Whether its taking an annual report from inception to publication or contributing writing, editing or photography, we can take any project and make it better. When we are at out best the finished product “sings” in a way that otherwise would not have been possible.
We also love new or innovative ideas so if you have something in mind that is not listed on this website, let us know. We would love to chat and figure out how we can help you.
Branding
Some people think of branding superficially as logos and colours. But your brand goes to the very core of your organization, how it operates and the experience of people who interact with it. For this reason, we prefer to work with branding experts to ensure your brand gets the best possible analysis and recommendations. And of course, we’re available to help you to strategically communicate your brand and to put it it into an attractive new package if required!
