But to sum it up, I’d say that someone who serves as a director of communication is really just a brand advocate.
The Brand Gap, Marty Neumeier describes a brand as “a person’s gut feeling about a product, service or company.” “a person’s gut feeling about a product, service or company.”
a brand is not what YOU say it is It’s what THEY say it is.
Successful church communicators are attuned to the pulse of their church and the culture outside of the church and strategize ways to build bridges from their community to the church.
They are passionate about the church’s vision and care about how it translates to people inside and outside of the church. They defend it. They design it. They care about it. It keeps them awake at night and is a reason for them to get out of bed in the morning.
And now, more than ever, it’s absolutely critical to have people in a position of leadership who are listening to what your church is saying, who are attuned to what other people inside and outside of the church are thinking and feeling, and who can create channels of communication to connect the two.
“Branding is the art of becoming knowable, likeable, and trustable.“ John Jantsch
"Your life bears a message. A message of hope and redemption. But, before people in your world encounter your message, they encounter you."
Your church has a message. A message of truth, hope and purpose. But, before people in your congregation or community encounter that message, they encounter your church. Your job, as Communication Director, is to find the things in your church that attract people to the message and remove the things that repel them. Kem Meyer

Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else. Tom Peters
