The art and science of condensing organizational/corporate information into convincing messages and then expressing them memorably in "soundbite" form is an increasingly critical skill. The inherent brevity of media space forces the discipline upon all. Those unable to express complex ideas in short, pithy quotes often find themselves on the cutting room floor or fall victim to the editor's blue pencil.

The right strategic message expressed quotably can make the difference between appearing or not appearing in the final product. And there's no question that the media only turns (and returns) to those who can "talk the talk."

Michael Sheehan has not only helped shape the message but has written the very quotes and soundbites which have scored in every major American newspaper, wire service, all three network news programs and cable networks.

Corporations and organizations alike regularly face the painful challenge of how to condense complex, multi-faceted issues into concise points which are relevant to the public and quotable to the media.

"Message development is just as critical on Wall Street. Whether in the Wall Street Journal, for analyst's presentations and calls, IPO road shows, M/A work or shareholder meetings, a strategic approach to message is an essential part of final success."
— Michael Sheehan
