    When your team is divided on key press event messages, alignment is crucial for maximum impact. Start by revisiting the event's goals—what do you want to achieve, and what should the audience take away? Host a collaborative session to gather ideas and identify common ground. Encourage open discussions but keep the focus on aligning messages with your brand’s values and objectives. A designated spokesperson can help streamline the narrative. Once the message is finalized, ensure everyone is clear on their roles and responsibilities. Consistency across all channels and team members reinforces a unified front, leaving a lasting impression. How does your team handle alignment for big events? Share your strategies!

    Más allá de las estrategias internas, como el tipo de debate que quieres tener y la propia elección del portavoz, te diría que entiendas, lo mejor posible, a quién te diriges. Un mensaje que se sienta consolidado, y aúne las diferentes ideas, impactará mejor en tu público objetivo. Debes Investigar los intereses y necesidades de tu público con el fin de tenerlos en cuenta en los mensajes. De esta forma, el evento de prensa impactará de verdad. Si tu equipo tiene claro a quién intenta influir, encontrará puntos en común más fácilmente.

    Here's a structured approach to resolve differences and maximize impact: 1. Revisit the Objectives Clarify Goals: Start by revisiting the purpose of the press event. What outcomes are you seeking? Is it to inform, persuade, or build credibility? Prioritize Audience Needs: Shift focus from internal disagreements to what will resonate with your audience and serve the brand’s objectives. 2. Facilitate Open Dialogue Conduct a Mediation Session: Gather the team in a neutral setting to discuss differing viewpoints. Encourage everyone to express their opinions without judgment. Identify Common Ground: Highlight areas of agreement and use them as the foundation for building the message.

    Having primary and secondary messages can help team members feel that all are heard but each have a role to play in the storytelling around the event. The primary and secondary messages can support each other. Use these to develop a communication plan, assign experts for commentary and deliver the goal of the event. Making team members feel that their message can be included in either a primary or secondary way helps build unification during the event which is vital for success.

No matter the disagreements plaguing your team, it's important to identify core values for your team to rally around and designate a spokesperson to consistently communicate an agreed-upon message.
