Comms is not common sense

by | Apr 14, 2021

I’ve heard a few people say that communications is common sense.

It’s not.

It could apply to lots of jobs I suppose, but it’s particularly an issue for us, because some of our colleagues think they could do it themselves (or their teenage nephew could).

Comms is not common sense.

Our audiences do not stop scrolling by to hear, see or read something they already know.

We don’t grab people’s attention with something ordinary and commonplace.

Our work is about touching emotions, changing behaviours, amusing and distracting the people we want to talk to.

Just because good things look simple, it doesn’t mean they don’t take a lot of skill to create.

And what we teach on our courses in UNcommon sense – cool concepts and techniques that not everybody knows, or everyone would be doing it!
