Liaise with media at local level

“LOTE Marketing worked directly with Allan in his capacity at the SES in its role it was required to undertake multicultural recruitment communication in the Springvale area. With Allan’s support the campaign involving press radio and posters was highly successful and raised the awareness of the SES”

Crisis management

“If you need proper crisis management advice that ranges from the operational to the strategic, then Allan Briggs is quite simply the first person you need to call. Lots of companies claim to be able to do this, but very few have hands-on experience when it comes to major incidents like bushfires and major public emergencies.”

Strategic planning & Media management during a crisis

“I recently undertook a strategic approach to crisis communications at Allan Briggs Communications. It was one of the most valuable and relevant courses I have done. It provides practical and hands-on advice that guides you through the process of developing a crisis communications plan, the role and value of key messages and delivery to camera. Allan walks you through the strategic planning process and illustrates the importance of planning for a crisis events with timely and high profile examples. Even if you don’t have spokesperson responsibilities this course gives you a taste of what it feels like to deliver key messages and navigate a door stop interview and media conference. Allan has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field to support the training. A highly recommended course that was educational, interactive and fun.”

PR in emergency services

“Allan gave weekly lectures in partnership with Geoff Kelly (Kelly Strategic Influence) for the subject COMM1180 Advanced Public Relations Cases, which forms a part of the wider Postgraduate Diploma in Public Relations at RMIT. His classes were interesting, informative and most importantly demonstrated a high level of experience and industry knowledge. I have taken from these classes invaluable skills in the field of communications and I would happily recommend him as a lecturer at any university seeking his services.”

Build your personal brand

“Allan keeps all course material firmly rooted in the practical and the relevant. His approachability, responsiveness and willingness to share his experiences means that his classes are engaging and feel more like professional development than pure academia. I would not hesitate to recommend Allan’s work as a lecturer to anyone interested in studying communications.”

Training – Strategic Planning

“Allan’s Strategic Planning course was excellent. The day-long course provides attendees with a simple approach to short-term and long-term strategic planning. After the course, I left feeling confident about writing strategic plans, the different types of strategic plans, why we need them and how to evaluate them. Allan demonstrates the power of strong strategic planning throughout the day, and at the end of the day, gets each of the attendees to work on real-life examples in order to practice the theory learnt in the first half of the day. I would recommend Allan’s course to anyone who would like to improve their strategic mind and write the perfect plan!”
