Importance of Multi-Modal Communications
In a world where communication floods our environment, it's important to remember that individuals need to hear a new message at least seven times for it to register in their mind. That doesn't mean seven e-mails, seven news releases, seven ads, or a multiple repeat of any one tactic. While individuals often favor and better respond to one form of communication over another (some prefer phone to e-mail for instance) effective communication is strategically planned to contact the target audiences in a variety of ways so that messages will stand a better chance of touching the right person at the right time...in the right way. A multi-modal, multi-touch communication and lead generation program will always outperform standalone marketing tactics.

But research shows some very legitimate reasons why working in groups can sometimes produce a vastly superior deliverable. The reason for the superior performance is that, correctly done, group work relies on “multiple intelligence.” Hear an explanation of how multiple intelligence works and when it should and should not be applied. And be sure to join us on Monday, April 14th to take part in a live demonstration of multiple intelligence at work.
