Presentation Skills

Executives think strategically but they don’t always communicate that way. How you communicate your message to all possible audiences, whether it’s the latest innovation or a corporate restructuring, will determine how well it is received. Employees, stakeholders and reporters all respond to different cues. It’s not enough to give the facts; you have to shape the story.

Ellis Strategies managed a four-month media relations campaign, generating significant coverage through targeted events and thematic stories, culminating in high-profile activities such as a naturalization ceremony and the presentation of the 2017 John F.
