Rachel Miller All Things IC, The importance of content #makinganimpact15

Editor's Notes

  1. “You’re not going to win people with your stats. You’re going to win them with your story.”
  2. Beware comms bling – shiny but doesn’t achieve what you need
  3. What’s important to them? Rumours LOROL – director’s survey
  4. How they do that depends on their unconscious bias
