Spot on. Hard to do effective comms if it's not clear what you're trying to achieve.

Yep. The best messaging and comms can't save a duff strategy, although it might mask it for a while.
Also, as a comms pro, I find that if it's really hard to figure out how to talk clearly about a company or an idea, it's a dead giveaway that there's something strategically missing.

Martin Robbins @mjrobbins.com · 2d

One thing that marks out good founders/CEOs in start-ups is they get that communication *is* strategy, in much the same way that writing *is* thinking. So it's not just that they don't have a clear strategy IMO; they're not engaged in the process of developing strategy.

Three years ago on 1 October we marched in Cardiff for an independent Wales, where Tadhg Hickey spoke of solidarity with oppressed nations. Yesterday, Tadhg was illegally detained in international waters by Israeli forces while joining the Global Sumud Flotilla to deliver food and aid to Gaza. 1/

Really powerful Gaza protest outside the Labour conference in Liverpool.

Over 20k kids have been killed in Gaza and protesters placed red stained blankets to look like babies were placed on barriers at the entrance.

A sign read: “20k dead kids. None had guns.”

Reform keeps arguing immigration is an issue when it isn’t.

There is a by-election right now in Caerphilly and Nigel Farage’s party keeps saying that immigration is an issue there.

BUT over 97% percent of people in the area were born in the UK.

We need to debate based on facts not scaremongering.
