Why navigate communications?
Navigate communications is a name I’ve been playing with for a few years to describe what it is I do. My job is to help clients figure out what they should be doing online. I approach the online world from a PR and communications perspective. I help clients navigate conversations online and shape a voice appropriate to the community.
Today, navigate communications is my somewhat infrequent commentary on what’s new, useful and relevant in my professional life. It is also a nod to the Functional Communication Framework that I developed to help clients think more like a networked communicator. I hope that you find some of the ideas, links and commentary helpful in your daily life.
Everything posted on this blog is my personal opinion and does not necessarily represent the views of my employer or its clients.
