What It Is

A communications architecture that decides what you say, to whom, where and in what order, built on what you can prove.

Who It's For

Leaders whose marketing, sales and front line each describe the business differently, and who feel the message isn’t landing.

What Changes

Customers, associates and partners hear the same clear story at every touchpoint, and you can see which messages move people to act.

This might be you if...

What It Is

One story, told the same way everywhere

A message changes every time it is passed along. By the time it travels from the leadership offsite to the sales call, the social feed and the front counter, it often says something different, or nothing at all. Customers notice the gaps before you do.

A communication strategy from wYrks starts with what is true about your business, then designs how that truth moves outward. We map every audience, message and channel into one communications architecture, so each touchpoint does a specific job. Associates get the story first, and the market hears it second.

How wYrks does it differentlyWe check the promise against the proof.Before we write a line, we map where your stated brand and your customers’ lived experience disagree. If we can’t prove it, we don’t say it.We plan the whole journey, from first glance to referral.Our C.O.M.M.I.T. journey maps each message to where a person is in their decision, so a first-time visitor and a loyal client never get the same pitch.We run two tracks at once.Biz messages drive action this quarter. Buzz messages build the trust that makes next quarter’s Biz work. We plan the balance on purpose, starting near 60:40 in favor of Buzz.
The C.O.M.M.I.T. journey, two tracks at every stepPeople don’t decide all at once. They move through five stages, and each one needs a different message. At every stage we run two tracks: Buzz builds trust and memory; Biz asks for action. Select a stage to walk the journey.The usual balance is about 60% Buzz to 40% Biz, a split drawn from long-term marketing-effectiveness research by Les Binet and Peter Field. We adjust it to your goals and your sales cycle.ConveySomething sparks interestC · ConveySomething sparks their interest.Buzz · brand momentumA point of view that makes them see the problem differently.Biz · business impactA clear first offer or hook.What we measureReach to the right people, repeated.ObserveThey go looking for moreO · ObserveThey go looking for more.Buzz · brand momentumGuides, articles and explainers that teach.Biz · business impact“What’s included” breakdowns and pricing paths.What we measureEngaged visits and time with content.Meet & MakeTrust starts to formM · Meet & MakeTrust starts to form.
