Colleen Flynn

Writing
Throughout my career, I have been responsible for writing a multitude of communications, including:
-
Advertising copy
-
Corporate communications
-
Crisis communications
-
Executive communications
-
Presentations
-
Press releases
-
Quarterly magazines
-
Social media posts
-
Strategic communication plans
-
Weekly employee newsletters
I have experience creating detailed communication plans which include: background analysis, target audience(s), communication goals, objectives, strategies/tactics, sequencing/timeframe, and individual communication pieces. In doing so, I researched complex topics and translated them into easy-to-understand communication/marketing pieces, segmented by audience.
In my current role as Director of Marketing and Events at MBAKS, I supervise a team of communications and public relations professionals. Our team is responsible for managing company websites, social media channels, a quarterly magazine, a weekly e-newsletter, media relations, blog posts, strategic communications, and more.
Below are just a few of my writing samples. Crisis communications from one of California's largest wildfires (Tubbs Fire) are included below. More samples are available upon request.
