Companies are finding that using tools to communicate can be a complicated process especially medium to large companies that have various functions and responsibilities. In some cases different brand teams along with legal, quality control and other need to communicate with the same customer but since their is no integration they communicate on their own. This can sometimes lead to mixed messages to both internal and external customers. In order to improve work flow while maintaining on time delivery of critical messages cross collaboration is essential. No matter what type of communication company chooses to use they must make sure that those responsible have a clear vision and understand what other functions in the organization may be doing as well.

Each Brand team must know and be able understand what channels are contributing to their overall success and what success looks like. For some this may be increase in sales, while others the increase in brand awareness and customer loyalty scores may be a driving metric.

We don’t often think of light as pollution for us but it is indeed one of man’s pollutions we have to live with. It’s different from waste pollution or noise pollution or any other pollution you may be more familiar with today. Light pollution is a serious problem and it only gets worse each day. New strip malls or neighborhoods being built with spotlights outside only adds to the problem. These lights keep us from seeing the stars at night and most people living in a major city today don’t get to see all the beautiful stars that do come out at night.

A good way to help control the problem is limiting your outside lights at night. No need for porch lights or carport lights to stay on all night. Using some of the newer led tubes to replace your lighting source you may be able to reduce your carbon footprint and actually provide a much cleaner form of light. People with lights in the yard should only use them when needed and not leave them on for long periods of time. Individual households play a small part in our light pollution problems, but we have to start somewhere. Hopefully city leaders will take action and have less lightning for new businesses and force establish businesses to cut down on their outdoor lighting at night.
