Media Reviews
'Corporate Communication offers something that most of the other titles currently on the market do not - readability combined with depth. The book's mixture of theory and practical examples not only explains how and why certain techniques work, but also shows students of the subject how to use them effectively...useful information [is] split up into bitesize, manageable chunks. this makes the content not just stimulating, but memorable too. One gets the feeling that if this book were to be introduced on to the reading list for all students of the subject, the future of corporate communications would surely be in safe hands.' -
Richard Morgan
Communication Director
