My name is Jem Probert.
I am, and have been for some considerable time, a professional communication advisor. I take the key messages from a brand, organisation, company or individual – and if there aren’t any, then I’ll identify them – and I find the best methods of communicating them to the target audience or audiences.
I find the right language and I tell the right stories. I do this in the good times and the bad times – clearly, it’s easier when things are going well, but getting it right can be more satisfying in the bad times.
I look for the stories, I look for the news, I look for the issues, I look for the things that’ll make a difference. If it can be done, I try and do it, if it can’t, then I’ll say so. I’ve been doing it for a long time now and I like to think that I have a fairly good handle on how it’s done best.
Like Cardinal Richelieu, I’m in the shadows. The story’s not about me.
