[00:34] – About Mary Devereux
- Mary is the Senior Advisor of SEC, Newgate Greater China.
- She is a communications champion.
- Mary is the co-author of a book titled, “Public Relations in Asia Pacific.”
[03:12] – Why is effective communication important for everyone?
- It is the ability to indicate whether you’re human to human or already animal to animal.
- We are fortunate to have our ancestors developed the language.
- We have an ability to be quite precise with what we need, and what we mean to say.
- The ability to clearly communicate your meaning and your emotion is as significant for companies as for individuals.
- I’m not a linguist by nature, but I was naturally drawn to the industry because I really care about words, and how they’re said and what they really mean.
[10:53] – Share with me one or two of your successful communication campaigns. What was it that made a campaign successful?
- Long before the world became very entranced about the concept of mental health, two insurance firms decided that mental health and wellbeing at work was very important.
- They both started focusing on workplace wellness.
- Both these companies now have well-formed indexes, which people can now use and see how the world has changed towards mental health in particular.
- I’m a huge supporter of mental wellness in the workplace, which was so ignored and there are so many new tools that we can use to cater to it.
- I think a lot of people in PR and in advertising and all these very long hour businesses are recognizing this.
- I’ve worked on toothpaste campaigns, cola campaigns, technology campaigns, but I think I’m most proud of the work I’ve done in the world of health care. That’s where you can really know you really are making a difference.
