A DC Start Up Story in the Attention & Information Economy
Learning How to Say More with Less
Join us for our next Australian Women in DC (AWDC) event on May 14 to hear from an all-star panel of DC-insiders including the founder of an ultimate DC startup story.
Roy Schwartz, Co-founder of Axios and Axios HQ, will share how Axios (and before that Politico) got its start in one of the toughest industries and markets.
Our panel of communications and messaging experts will discuss the evolution of news, information and misinformation, the communications landscape and what this means for how we reach our audience and make our message stick.
- Why it matters: Whether you are a start-up pitching investors, a comms leader briefing employees, a media outlet seeking the attention of your audience, this panel will help you understand how to cut through the noise and be heard.
You'll hear lessons drawn from "Smart Brevity: The power of saying more with less" – out with a second edition later summer — on the transformative formula for capturing attention, communicating clearly, and keeping colleagues, staff, and stakeholders informed.
Our Expert Panel: Moderated by CRO Syndicate Founder & CEO, Lisa Pettigrew, our Expert Panel includes:
· Roy Schwartz, Co-Founder, Axios & AxiosHQ & Co-Author, Smart Brevity
· Helen Zhang, Co-Founder, Intrigue Media, former Googler and diplomat
· Mary Grealy, Non-Exec Board Director & former CEO, Healthcare Leadership Council
· Dewardric (DL) McNeal, Managing Director, Longview Global
