Transform communication: Write less, say more

The premium on smart, clear communication has never been higher. In a sharp discussion, we dig into the shifting communications landscape and how innovative companies keep up. Watch the discussion above and share the key takeaways below with your team.

🚨 We’re at a point in time when companies and colleagues have access to more good information than ever before and — right beside it — just as much distracting junk.

• Why it matters: There’s a huge struggle, “even at sophisticated companies, to communicate with hierarchy, simplicity, basically what Axios does with Smart Brevity®️," says Axios CEO Jim VandeHei.

The big picture: We built a technology around that idea – Axios HQ. It helps companies communicate more clearly — to employees or clients — and get their message across in half the time. 

How it works: HQ can teach you the methodology we use to engage smart readers: 

• Prioritizing only what is surprising or essential. 
• Telling them what’s new, right away. 
• Following that up with why this news will matter to them. 
• Styling for impact, and more. 

It’s what readers are hungry for, and it’s what cuts through. “If you can communicate better,” Jim says, “people fundamentally make better decisions.”
