At the center of every communication is a message. When that message is right—when it's the perfect balance of rational customer benefits and emotional, human-to-human connection—it doesn't just inform. It persuades. It motivates. It drives behavior. That's the power of Talk HumanSM. Talk Human is what we do in each of EMA's four practice groups, from EMA Group B2B to Consumer Advertising, from the Brand Promotion Group to Public Relations and Public Affairs. We start by listening to your audience. We learn who those people really are. What they think. How they think. Then we craft messages that appeal to both their heads and their hearts. Messages that get tangible, measurable results. So whether you want to build a brand, launch a product, move the needle or manage a crisis, don't just talk. Talk Human.
