What is Business Communications?

Everyone needs to communicate. Organizations are just like people. They need to communicate with different people at different times for different reasons. Sometimes they talk to their customers and sometimes they talk to the community. They talk to each other and they talk to themselves. They talk to the media, the government, investors, to suppliers and partners. All organizations talk, but successful organizations do it strategically. Defining what you want to accomplish and how you’re going to use your words to get there is what strategic Business Communications (aka Public Relations) is all about.
