Helping leaders find their voice and deliver with clarity and impact
In the AI era, there’s only one true narrative you have full authority to own and control — direct communication to key audiences told in a genuine voice. Stories told, in first person. Our mission is to help clients define and deliver the voice of a brand through the executive team. From internal stakeholders to industry influencers, we work with communications leaders to build teams and message to the audiences that matter most.
With rapid change in how information is shared and opinions are formed, the stakes for communications leaders have never been higher. Yet, the Great Resignation has left many leaders with new and often inexperienced teams that are struggling under antiquated operating models.
First Person is experienced in helping navigate change and maximize team potential. Our founding partner, Will Ludlam, has managed and shaped communications teams for some of the largest agencies in the world. He’s worked with the top four global networks (Edelman, Omnicom, WPP and IPG). He’s helped craft, facilitate and implement multi-year campaigns to improve leadership, account team, and financial performance for more than 20 P&Ls over the course of his career.
Having built and managed numerous high-performing communications teams, we are experienced in helping leaders assess both talent and functional needs as an organization and can help determine the right structure, culture and adjustments needed to create high-performing teams that deliver on corporate expectations.
Coming out of the global pandemic, healthcare organizations face massive change in organizational structure and the delivery of care. Communicating change and building support with key constituents (e.g. employees, patients and the broader community) is critical to an institution's ability to successfully navigate these changes. We've worked with a number of clients in the healthcare provider space to architect and execute programs to build advocacy and support.
Having worked on programs for companies like Samsung and Amazon, our team and partners are experienced in helping clients balance the current landscape with the broader communications needs of an organization. First Person works closely with the corporate comms team to develop the strategy for the corporate brand and the executive team.
Employees are a company's greatest brand ambassadors and their expectations of employers have never been higher. Employees want and expect their employer to take a stand on issues of societal significance. First Person works with clients to understand what's important and how to establish clear and predictable ways to engage. We can help with communications strategies around restructures, change management, and other material events.
Whether prepping for a speech to business leaders or a media tour for a product launch, First Person has a well-honed methodology and materials to help ensure executives are prepared (and confident) in speaking on behalf of the corporation -- having coached, trained and developed messaging for executives at every level.
Our team members and partners have worked in active unified command response teams for multiple clients over the years (including managing the COVID-19 response for UW Medicine). We are also deeply experienced in working with communications teams to assess risk, manage response, and prep spokespeople.
In a world of constant change and massive data, finding clarity and consensus is an ongoing challenge -- yet it's critical to getting teams motivated and productive. We have a portfolio of proven techniques to guide groups from challenge to solution where they are able to take shared ownership of a clearly defined action plan.
