So, what does a communications manager do?

A communications manager oversees all the external and internal communications for a company. A communications manager creates informative content, writes press releases, articles, and other media to be published on the company’s brand. Knowing how to draft a strong press release is important for a communications manager to create a trusted relationship between the brand and its consumers.

A communication manager works closely with strategists to shape and polish a company’s image, values, and modes of communication. A communications manager serves as a liaison between the company and the public, leading press conferences and conducting briefings. Promoting a company’s mission and highlighting its strengths and values is key for a communications manager.

A communications manager also works to differentiate its brand from competitors in the marketplace. The current communications landscape is flooded with an overload of content, so a communications manager must be able to successfully differentiate its brand by leading a strong communications plan and spearheading the content initiatives.
