Do you know who your ‘inside,’ ‘outside,’ and
‘alongside’ customers are?
Do you have a communications
plan… or know why you
need one? What about a
compelling brand and
associated key messages?
WE GET IT… YOU’RE BUSY!
But research shows that
your success is directly related to
the strength of both your internal and
external communications. We can help!
Communication Audits
Internal & External Communication Plans
Branding & Key Messaging
Reports, Presentations & Videos
Writing, Editing & Photography
Web Content & Social Media
Stakeholder Research
Communication Workshops
DON’T BE A STATISTIC! One third of organizations and
projects that fail do so because
of poor communication. Really!
"The single biggest problem in
communication is the illusion that
it has taken place.” George Bernard Shaw
WE TAKE THE BUSINESS OF YOUR
COMMUNICATION VERY SERIOUSLY!

It doesn’t get much better than innovation and collaboration! The Fresh Outlook Foundation’s passion is inspiring
community conversations for sustainable change, with
the key word being ‘community.’ To that end, FOF creates
opportunities for those conversations to unfold at events
such as its flagship Building SustainABLE Communities
(BSC) conference.
Communities evolve more sustainably when people from
government, business, and the academic and nonprofit
sectors work with citizens of all ages to craft solutions that
reflect the best insights, ideas, passions, and personalities
of each group. These collaborations expedite positive
change by fast-tracking brainstorming processes,
strengthening relationships, expanding networks, and
preventing the duplication of invaluable human and
financial resources. They’re also rewarding and fun!
Many examples of successful collaborations will be shared
during BSC. Whatever your age, sector, and/or passion,
there will be plenty for you to be informed about and
inspired by. In this spirit of collaboration, we are thrilled
to be partnering this year with Wayblaze.com to provide
an on-line Collaboration & Innovation Zone. Check it out
at wayblaze.com/BSC2017, and see the back page here for
how you can win great prizes! I look forward to hearing
your stories about how you put what you learned and
who you met to great use in your own community!
A big thank-you to the sponsors who made this event
possible. Kudos as well to the speakers, panelists, and
facilitators who will make it meaningful and productive.
And to those of you who will take time out of your
busy schedules to attend, we promise it will be worth
your while!
