HOT TAKE on positioning, for independent communications consultants. I'm currently reviewing heaps and heaps of global communications consultant resumes, websites and LinkedIn profiles for a special project, and it's been super interesting to see the patterns on a macro level. I'm noticing a LOT of generalized descriptions of expertise and services. Don't get me wrong - there's 100% a benefit to describing yourself as a "Strategic Communications Expert" or a "Senior Corporate Communications Strategist" or whatnot. Keywords matter. Searchability matters. I'm guilty of doing this myself. But when you have the opportunity to talk freely about your signature services, and what makes you different - skip the generic terminology. It certainly doesn't do much to "sell" you. Instead, specialize, specialize, specialize. Example: Don't say that you offer "internal communication strategy." Everyone does that. Get specific. Think about which part of IC you do really, really well. Think about the outcomes you provide. Maybe you "Help hard-to-reach employees understand and carry out their role in the company's global strategy." Or perhaps you "Build bespoke qualitative / quantitative employee communications research programs that deliver actionable insights." Just my two cents. Specificity will set you apart.

True advice. I always focus on our speciality which is hospitality and lifestyle PR. I refer other enquiries to different consultants in their field
