Today we're very excited to be launching our new blog with this grand inaugural message. WELCOME!
We started tweeting this week too. Social media is about to play a big part in our work here at Membership Engagement Services. But first....
What is MES? We're essentially a communications company with a particular focus on membership organisations. We help our clients to link up and communicate better with their members, stakeholders, staff and local communities. Lots of our clients are NHS Trusts but we work for other membership organisations too - trade unions, associations, institutes and corporate bodies. We help with strategy, advice, and practical project delivery too; I never had much time for consultancies that offer the general advice, some of it a little obvious at that, without the tangible delivery too.
You can read our company philosophy here.
We're a subsidiary company of Electoral Reform Services - their focus being the impartial, expert and independent management of elections and ballots.
And what of this blog? It will be a commentary, a resource and perhaps even a vaguely entertaining read about engagement. We see the word bandied around willy nilly, organisations are encouraged to engage with us, Parliamentary Acts are passed that refer to public engagement, politicians speak of localism, community power and the big society ... although that particular phrase has quietened down somewhat this past 12 months or so. And of course we have the word in our company name.
And now? We'll be starting weekly for now. More of the MES team will be contributing as time goes on.
So long for now.
