Marketers spend their careers developing ideas. But even the best idea will only go so far if you can’t get others to understand it, believe in it, and act on it. Today’s marketers must communicate with everyone from senior leaders and sales teams to finance, agencies and cross-functional partners—audiences who don’t always speak the language of marketing or care about the same things you do. The challenge is making your message connect with what matters to them.

This dynamic, practical training teaches marketers a simple five-step framework for communication that gets results, with a focus on the written form. Through real-world marketing examples and hands-on exercises, participants will learn to clarify their message, understand their audience, build a compelling story and make their ideas easier to understand—and harder to ignore.

Group rates: CMA offers special rates for groups of 6 or more. Please reach out to learning@thecma.ca to take advantage of group rates. Note: for group rates to apply, all registrations must be completed at the same time.
