First Create The Media

Who said working with a comms agency had to be boring? As one client told us, "Our catchups are the highlight of my week!" How many other meetings can you say that about? If you're looking for expert, professional support with your science-led comms and content that comes with a side order of smiles, drop us a line: info@firstcreatethemedia.com #agencylife #sciencecommunication #marketing

The first question we always ask our clients is "Who needs to know about you?" Without clarity on that, your comms & marketing efforts are going to miss the mark. Trying to communicate with everyone is one of the quickest ways to ensure that your message resonates with no one. Trying to reach a broad, undefined audience leads to vague, unfocused messaging. You need to know who your audience is if you’re going to grab their attention, address their challenges, and inspire action. Get in touch with us at info@firstcreatethemedia.com if you need help figuring out who you need to reach, what they need to know, and - most importantly - why they should pay attention. #LifeSciences #Communications #ContentMarketing

Who doesn't love a Lunch'n'Learn? It was a pleasure to welcome Oliver Childs into our virtual office to share his thoughts (and his memes...) about client strategy. A former colleague from our founder Kat Arney and CEO Sarah Hazell's days in science communication at Cancer Research UK, Olly has since worked in several health comms agencies and had plenty of insights to share. Lots to think about as we continue to develop our strategic offerings for pioneering life science companies who need to get their message to the people that matter. #strategy #strategicthinking #agencylife #agencyfounder #comms

Everybody's got an opinion - so how do you distil all that information into a set of coherent, shareable messages? That's the challenge we faced when we teamed up with our partner agency Luna 9 to help the Campaign for Science and Engineering (CaSE) develop the messaging and branding for their Discovery Decade campaign. We really enjoyed working with Ben Bleasdale and his team, as well as the folk at Public First, to sift through a huge volume of public opinion data to get to the heart of what really matters when it comes to communicating the value of R&D. Ben says, "We were delighted to work with FCTM on our Discovery Decade project. Working with lots of public opinion data, we valued their ability to identify the key trends and shape that into a practical set of Comms tools. The team combine deep expertise with boundless energy, which helped drive our work forward." Read the full case study here:https://lnkd.in/e3xWkrfi
