Communications Manifesto / Ford

About This Project

As part of our engagement to help Ford form a fully integrated communications platform, we were asked by the Chief Communications Officer to create a Communications Manifesto for his global teams. ‘Are you ready? Communicating in a New World’ addresses the wholesale disruption of media and messaging, and the importance for brands of bringing human value to the evolving social conversation. This is best done through principled behavior that builds value at every touchpoint. And, it reflects the changing responsibility of corporate brands to convey purpose in a clearly transparent way, in order to earn a position of trust. Ford, as a company, lives a fundamental truth – that freedom of movement drives human progress – and this idea is the rally-cry of the book.
