The Art of Business Communication

Walnut Media's approach to Production

If anything sums up our approach to business communications it is a belief in combining a proper assessment of an organisation's requirements with a creative approach to production. The result is highly effective communications that deliver business objectives with style.

Does your organisation communicate effectively? Do your people feel properly informed? Are you exploiting new communication technologies to the full? These are the sort of questions we address. In answering them, we develop solutions through a straightforward design approach that takes into consideration four dimensions.

Analysis

First we assess your aspirations and business objectives to understand where you are coming from and what you really want to achieve. Initially we like to keep an open mind about communication methods and techniques, concentrating on gaining a shared understanding of what the organisation wants the communication project to achieve. We can then propose a solution based on using an appropriate medium or media mix to deliver your message and influence your audience.

Creativity

Identifying the intended purpose of a communication does not necessarily deliver a compelling message. The intellectual analysis must be balanced by creative flair. With any project we try to inject fresh ideas so that solutions are both original and have lasting value.

Often solutions will challenge conventional thinking, helping to engage audiences while remaining carefully aligned to the objectives.

Technical Innovation

The third dimension to our approach relates to the technology employed to deliver your solution. New technology means that conventional boundaries between delivery methods are now blurred and within any given medium there are a vast array of technical possibilities.

Our approach is to harness the power and flexibility of technologies, not be a slave to them. This means continually investing time to master new techniques, so we can advise you and guide you in their successful application. It also means finding or developing the appropriate skills to produce solutions to the highest standard. We use a variety of specialised suppliers and skilled individuals who are able to use technologies to the full.

Project Management

Ultimately a project is only cost-effective if it achieves its objectives. We have developed flexible systems to keep projects on track and keep you properly informed. Although we often work with third parties to deliver our solutions, overall control remains with us.

We are often commissioned to produce major events or solutions on a turnkey basis, where we oversee all aspects of the production and manage a range of suppliers.

A balanced approach

Every production is different, but each is approached in the same manner by Walnut Media to ensure that we can maintain our reputation for producing highly effective visual communications that deliver corporate messages with style.
