When the managers of the Champlain Bridge discovered a major crack in the structure, they knew they would have to face thousands of concerned and disgruntled motorists. How did they stem the crisis?

When launching IÖGO yogurts, advertisers had to quickly establish this new brand on shelves already saturated with well-known names. How did they pull off this masterful move?

After a runaway train derailed and caught fire in the small town of Lac-Mégantic, the railway company multiplied errors, further tarnishing its reputation. How could it have avoided this downward spiral?

In all these cases, the effectiveness of communications was a determining factor in the results obtained. This shows the importance for decision-makers and organizations to properly convey THE message they want to transmit. What is the intended objective? What exactly should be said? How to reach the target audience? Should advertising or social media be used? And so on.

Bernard Motulsky, speaker and expert in communications and public relations, answers all these questions and many more.

As he regularly does in the media, he reviews several striking case studies to highlight the communication strategies employed. Whether it involves announcing an event, managing a crisis, responding to a journalist, disseminating news to employees, successfully running a fundraising campaign, or achieving any other communication-related objective, the key is to deploy the right game plan.

Don’t leave room for improvisation: deliver the message you want and get the results you desire.
