WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE<br />

BETWEEN REQUESTED AND<br />

UNREQUESTED COMMUNICATIONS?<br />

An unrequested communication covers things like press ads,<br />

radio spots, online banners and TV commercials. It’s all about<br />

grabbing attention. It’s the cold call.<br />

A requested communication applies to things like emails, letters,<br />

direct mail and websites. It’s all about keeping customers engaged.<br />

It’s the follow-up call.<br />

WHY USE A DIFFERENT TONE<br />

OF VOICE FOR REQUESTED AND<br />

UNREQUESTED COMMUNICATIONS?<br />

While it’s important that our identity remains consistent across<br />

multiple platforms, our tone of voice needs to vary.<br />

Think of it like real life: You don’t speak to your boss the same way<br />

you speak to a friend. And you don’t speak to a friend the same<br />

way you speak to your mum. You adjust your tone according to who<br />

you’re talking to, and what you’re talking about. But your personality<br />

remains the same.<br />

The same principle applies to unrequested and requested<br />

communications, and the different methods of communication<br />

within each.<br />

Here we’ll give you some pointers on how to best get your message<br />

across to your audience in requested communications.
