INDEPENDENT COMMUNICATION REVIEWS & SECOND OPINIONS

What should remain, change or be challenged before you move forward?

Submit existing communication, positioning, an offer or a proposal for independent assessment.

You receive a focused written Note showing what already works, what requires attention and what should happen next, in order of priority.

You do not need to choose a review first.

WHICH ROUTE FITS YOUR SITUATION?

Start with what already exists and the decision it needs to support.

COMMUNICATION REVIEW

BEST FOR

Existing communication that remains unclear, inconsistent or is not producing the intended response.

YOU RECEIVE

A Communication Review Note, followed by one advisory conversation about the findings and priorities.

OUTCOME

Retain, Correct or Rework, with a clear order of priority and no unnecessary rewriting.

POSITIONING & OFFER REVIEW

BEST FOR

An existing positioning and offer that remain difficult to understand, choose or recommend to others.

YOU RECEIVE

A Positioning & Offer Review Note, followed by one advisory conversation about the findings and recommended direction.

OUTCOME

Retain, Clarify, Reposition or Restructure, with clear priorities for making the offer easier to understand, choose and recommend to others.

STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION SECOND OPINION

BEST FOR

An existing proposal, brief, direction or investment that requires independent scrutiny before approval.

YOU RECEIVE

A Second Opinion Decision Note, followed by one advisory conversation about the conclusion, its reasoning and the priorities that follow.

OUTCOME

Approve, Revise, Defer or Reject, with a clear and defensible basis for the decision.

Not more communication. The right communication.

Clarity before words.

HOW IT WORKS

From submission to written assessment and a clear next decision.

1. Submit the Question

Describe what already exists, what remains unclear and which decision requires support.

2. Confirm the Review

You receive the recommended route, the material required, what the review will cover, the timing, fixed fee and exclusions in writing.

3. Receive the Written Note

The agreed material is independently assessed. You receive the relevant Review Note or Second Opinion Decision Note, followed by the included advisory conversation about the conclusion and priorities.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

SCOPE, FEE & CONFIDENTIALITY

Each review covers one defined piece of communication, one existing positioning and its related offer, or one proposal awaiting approval.

What the review covers, the timing, deliverable, fixed fee and exclusions are confirmed in writing before work begins. All submitted material is handled personally and confidentially.

Not included

Unless agreed separately, Reviews & Second Opinions do not include strategy development, complete rewriting, production, implementation, project management or specialist legal, financial or technical advice.

DOES THE DIRECTION ITSELF REMAIN UNCLEAR?

Choose Strategic Communication Advisory when the underlying problem, competing stakeholder interests or responsible direction still need to be clarified before a review can be meaningfully defined.

BEFORE YOU INVEST FURTHER

Find out what should remain, what requires attention and whether the current direction should move forward.

Describe what already exists, what remains uncertain and which decision requires independent support.

Within two working days, you receive a personal and confidential response with the recommended route and next step.

Submitting a question does not commit you to an engagement.
