How We Work

At MaineMessage, we specialize in helping small businesses and nonprofits unify their internal and external communications, presenting a coherent message to the public, employees and all stakeholders. We clarify an organization’s message, distilling it to its essence. Our Holistic Communication Strategy employs systems thinking to examine the various ways that messages are imparted: written, visual, and spoken, as well as through action and policy. Each method of communication interacts with the others, and each piece impacts the whole. Sometimes, the message being given in one realm conflicts with what’s being communicated by the others. Often, particularly if an organization has experienced a period of transition, several versions of an organization’s message are being communicated at the same time. Our goal is to help our clients identify their main message, integrate it into every part of their work, and share it, clearly, with the world.

What is Holistic Communication Strategy?

Holistic Communications Strategy is a systems thinking based approach to communications. Systems thinking in communications examines the many different ways we communicate our business’ or organization’s message through writing, visuals, speaking, and actions taken as individuals and groups, and how each impacts overall communication efforts.
