The Stoics may describe universal truths for a life well lived and Steven Covey may give us the 7 habits of highly effective people, but in our work as communications professionals, we have found if you follow these basic rules, in good times and bad, your voice will be heard and respected.

Most of us in professional services probably participate in a few conference calls a day. But that number is about to go way up — and every participant in the call is going to be in a different location. 

One of the best things about working in communications consulting is the opportunity to work on interesting projects with great clients. Every day our team learns something new from our clients -- subject matter experts who are leaders in their fields, reshaping the public policy landscape and planning for the future of our region. In return, it’s exciting for us to help them translate their ideas into terrific media stories, dynamic digital posts and ongoing social content.

When maximizing your efforts on positioning your company, there’s no doubt that your marketing strategy should be efficient and cost-effective. Facebook advertising can be the best ally for your advertising campaigns; there’s no other media source that has a searching algorithm as broad as Facebook does, that’s why they are known as the largest media platform in the world. If you have only $100 to invest, you want to make sure it goes into the right account so that they will increase its value over time. That same principle should apply to your marketing efforts. By advertising on Facebook, you will reach the appropriate audience in just a few clicks; your ad will be placed in front of Facebook users who are likely interested in your business and will engage with your content. You will increase the traffic on your website, the likes on your Facebook page, and your brand awareness.
