TEPHRAMIRIAM Communications & Publishing

The work that I do with Tephra Miriam Communications & Publishing definitely covers a broader spectrum than most. What it comes down to is this. It’s difficult for companies to produce creative artifacts if they lack vision and a centralized mission. Therefore:

I work to infuse organizations with creative artifacts that reflect a strong vision and purpose. These artifacts can include anything and everything from crafting core values and creating an internal communication campaign surrounding that to internal training initiatives, drafting curriculum and/or competencies, designing innovation programs, producing internal podcasts in order to increase engagement, producing videos for training, branding and/or recruiting and much more!

The TM COM & PUB Story
When I first founded TM Com & Pub I wanted it to be so much more than just a business. In fact, I had to start with a philosophy. That philosophy is and always will be Service, Education & Thought Leadership.

1.) SERVICE – Owning a business enlarges your obligation to society. It’s not only about revenue and the bottom line. It’s about our impact on the world and society. It’s about finding ways to serve in the community.

2.) EDUCATION – Owning a business enlarges your obligation to contribute to a body of knowledge. We must not only be consumers but givers of knowledge and cultivators of each others destiny.

3.) THOUGHT LEADERSHIP – Owning a business enlarges your obligation to influence thought positively. We must always seek to inspire.

Communications is about building a strong bond between people and organizations. This is the premise that made companies like Apple unbeatable in the beginning. How do we build bonds and strong connections to the consumer?

We must understand the international complexities of our global market, which requires the ability to understand diverse avenues of commerce, people and culture.

We must realize that the consumer has changed. There was a time when companies had power in society as the consumers access to information was limited. The modern era has brought with it access to an abundance of information. Consumers can now form opinions and have options as to where to spend money and conduct business.

Ultimately, my mantra is and always will be that active communications strategies create forward momentum.
