Communication Strategy Workshop
Create a communication strategy that will connect with your audiences, show them the value of what you do, and help you grow.
Introduction
Are you a technical agency, B2B product company, or open source project looking to enhance your content marketing? Open Strategy Partners has got you covered with our communication strategy workshop! Led by experienced consultants—technologists and communicators—this workshop is designed to help you understand your offerings, your audience, and how to connect them.
Benefits and Takeaways
You leave with everything you need to develop editorial and campaign plans to communicate the value of what you do to the people who should know about it.
This workshop will offer you a structured approach to understanding your situation, your needs and goals, and how communication can help you bridge that gap.

- You are a founder, agency lead, product lead, or have a senior technical role,

- You have to get projects delivered, features launched
- AND make sure your target audience finds out about the excellent work your teams are delivering.
- You are a (product) marketer at a technical organization.
- You need to make Marcomms plans
- to attract highly-critical technical audiences (often developers)
- AND convince less-technical budget holders of the benefits of your offerings.
Why attend?
Spending time with OSP’s team of expert technologists and professional communicators will help you gain perspective on your business, insights into how to improve it, and give you the tools you need to go tell the world!
The results of your workshop help build the strategic base and the staying power you need to succeed with marketing content (and content marketing!) in the tech industry.

Let's talk about your workshop!
“OSP took what we are and what we stand for and put that in words that we can share with others. We didn’t like talking about ourselves. They created a bold, confident way for us to talk about ourselves that didn’t exist before, an identity we can communicate to the outside world.”
"OSP forced us to be super clear and focused. Until that event, we kept repeating arguments that were kind of weak. OSP pushed us to be more precise — they forced us to make bolder statements, be more confident, and position ourselves more clearly. We gave lots of input, OSP provided the methodology and a really structured process from the beginning. It was quicker than I feared it would be. Everything around it was super, super helpful for us, a real eye-opener."
