2025-06-23 12:00 - 13:00 UTC
Join IABC Philadelphia for From “Reactive and Corporate” to “Strategic and Creative” in 5 (Somewhat) Easy Steps” on Monday, June 23, at 12 p.m. ET.
For 26 years, Steve and Cindy Crescenzo of Crescenzo Communications have helped employee communicators move out of the role of “content order taker” and into their proper role as strategic communications counselors to the entire organization.
They have learned a few things over the years and created this interactive workshop to discuss their five-step process for success and show examples of how it works:
1️⃣ Gather your data . . . because you can’t do anything without data
2️⃣ Fix your content . . . because you need to make the important interesting
3️⃣ Build your plan . . . because you need a North Star to guide you
4️⃣ Get the right tools . . . because you need to reach a deskless, hybrid, younger workforce
5️⃣ Measure your results . . . because you can’t assume anything in employee communications
The cost is $10 for IABC Philly members, $20 for guests, and $5 for students.

This special two-hour webinar with Q&A will feature special guest Angelique Rewers, CEO of BoldHaus.
Delivering great work for a client is just the beginning. The real opportunity lies in turning that initial project into a high-value, long-term partnership that drives measurable results — and predictable revenue — for your consulting or service-based business.
Today’s companies aren’t just looking for transactional vendors. They’re seeking trusted, strategic partners who understand their mission, elevate their communications, and contribute to real organizational outcomes.
If gateway projects aren’t consistently leading to deeper, enterprise-level work — you’re leaving opportunity, impact, and revenue on the table.
A research firm found that BoldHaus community members consistently:
☑️ Turn one-off communications projects into multi-phase engagements across departments and divisions
☑️ Position themselves as indispensable experts who decision-makers rely on for strategic input — not just tactical execution
☑️ Stand out in a saturated market of generalists and AI tools by deepening trust, demonstrating value, and building category authority
☑️ Establish a repeatable business model that delivers steady cash flow, stronger client relationships, and sustainable growth
☑️ Stay relevant and in demand by delivering what AI alone never can: strategic insight, emotional intelligence, and the ability to align people and priorities across an organization
If you’re a communications consultant, strategist, or service provider who’s ready to stop chasing the next client — and start maximizing the value of every opportunity you already have — this session will give you the exact roadmap.

Join IABC Los Angeles, IABC San Diego, and IABC San Francisco for “Cutting Through the Clutter: An IABC webinar with Crescenzo Communications” on Friday, September 12, at 12 p.m. PT / 3 p.m. ET.
Steve Crescenzo will lead the discussion. Steve will explore how to train AI to write in your voice, punch up dull drafts, and help you work faster without losing your edge. The focus: more story, less sludge. More tools, less time. Less “corporate speak,” more human speak.
What You’ll Learn:
☑️ How to spot great stories hiding in plain sight and turn them into content your people will actually read
☑️ How to train AI (like ChatGPT) to write in your voice, not like a robot
☑️ The secret to banishing “corporate speak” and making your writing sound more human
☑️ How to turn a bulleted list of facts into a story that grabs attention and drives action
☑️ Practical prompts that get AI to help you brainstorm, organize, and polish your content
☑️ How to combine story structure with AI speed so you can crank out better content, faster
☑️ Why storytelling matters more than ever in the age of AI, and how to keep your creativity in the driver’s seat
This webinar is free for IABC members and $15 for non-members.
