Axios HQ Executive Voice
In our virtual 1-hour course, an Axios or Axios HQ executive shares their leadership perspective on Smart Brevity and how it radically transforms internal communications. You'll learn:
- The power and origin of our style.
- How to build executive and operational buy-in.
- How Smart Brevity can elevate your comms — and business results.
Tailor-made courses
Smart Brevity was born in a newsroom, pressure-tested over the last decade, and proven to be the communication style that can engage busy readers without wasting time or watering down your vital messages.
Our editorial team is here to understand your communication goals and recommend the strategic programming we've seen work. Whether it's...
-
Short-sprint courses
-
Ongoing team up-skilling
-
Transformational internal change
...we've worked with teams big and small to get it done.
Actionable takeaways
Our courses go far beyond philosophy. While we'll dig in on the data that informed our style and the ways we've watched it work. The bulk of every session is focused on Smart Brevity's practical, tactical application.
Our lesson plans and examples are all tailored to your organization, audience, and goals. After each session, participants will leave with:
- New skills to strengthen their communication.
- A checklist to keep them accountable.
- Our slides, for easy reference going forward.
"Everything was bespoke. The Axios HQ team worked with me to tackle and anticipate our specific needs and made an impressive effort to learn our company. We saw the value in what we were doing and the immediate impact it could have on efficiency and results in their day-to-day work."
Takeda's bespoke training
Axios HQ developed and led a series of in-depth workshops for Takeda’s global communicators, aligning lesson plans, hands-on exercises and workshop cadence around its core goals.
How Takeda modernized its storytelling
"We’ve embraced the style for news items, transactional content, and even in longer feature stories, which was a welcome surprise. The style really makes it easier to write and edit and has helped our editors streamline their process — a welcome shift in time spent."
UofSC's shift in style
Axios HQ’s team led in-depth Smart Brevity training sessions with UofSC communicators — helping them understand how the style works and ways it can be useful to any campus update.
How UofSC keeps its campus connected
"We write like we’re writing research papers. Smart Brevity was kind of like a jolt to say, this is how people are receiving the communication, and this is an easier way for them to be able to digest what we’re saying so it can make a bigger impact."
AISD's community connection
Axios HQ’s team led a series of in-depth Smart Brevity workshops with AISD’s team, helped them develop and re-launch the communication that gets sent to staff, and provided hands-on editing support until AISD felt a mastery of the Smart Brevity style.
