Executive Communications Corporate executives stake their reputations with each public address, letter and proposal. Tone matters as much as content. Words must convey style as well as substance. Precision is imperative.
Jennifer Balink has ghost-written letters, speeches, articles and other executive correspondence for elected officials, Fortune 500 executives, and emerging entrepreneurs. These are a few examples.
Mayor A C Wharton, Jr. For three years Jennifer served as a top advisor providing to the Memphis metropolitan area's top elected official, Shelby County Mayor A C Wharton, Jr. Specific assignments included a speech preparing official Congressional testimony for the Senate Health Education Labor and Pensions committee, correspondence with the Board of Commissioners and Tennessee Governor, and position papers on a variety of policy issues including fiscal issues, education, public safety and economic development.
Time Warner Communications For an incoming executive new to the Memphis market, Jennifer prepared speeches on minority business development and corporate responsibility. Additional client work included community relations and media relative to change in corporate leadership and new venture for the former chief executive.
Corning Incorporated, Fiber Optics Division When manufacturing and commodity supply issues limited Corning's ability to deliver products in the fast-moving telecommunications industry, division executives asked Jennifer to assist in developing a communications strategy to reach the executives within the client base and to prepare correspondence and presentations to support direct one-on-one dialogue.
