Message Development

Xenophon generally runs a half day facilitated messaging session with clients in which we dissect issues and put them together into a compelling narrative. It’s followed by a suite of materials to convey our messages across all media.

Message Testing

Frequently we will work with top research firms to test messaging in a number of different forums: qualitative (Focus Groups); quantitative (Polling) or with a panel of issue experts (on-line). Tested messages mean effective messages.
