Europe's most popular communications, PR
and media conversation

March 8, 2016 Transcript of #CommsChat on comms in the public sector

Last night on #CommsChat we looked at communications in the public sector with our guest Amanda Coleman (@amandacomms), head of corporate communications at Greater Manchester Police. We discussed the challenges and the opportunities associated with working as a communications professional in the public sector.

Here are some of our highlights:

• @vickyohare @CommsChat T6 take time to get to know senior people & explain your role. When they get it, their support is invaluable
• @LinzeeN @amandacomms @CommsChat 7.5 yrs of being a solo Comms person taught me the value of joining forces with other orgs!
• @SarahJ_Copeland @jgombita less you spend of their $ the less time you’ll have to spend explaining to them why you did. 1 less audience 2 target
• @amandacomms @SarahJ_Copeland we do no cost, low cost – really focus on media relations, SM and direct engagement
• @Nicksy200 @cleverclogcomms @amandacomms storytelling essential to cut through the jargon but can be hard to convince public sector execs
