In business, how you communicate with the world is just as important as the products or services you offer. Every press release, social media post, or public statement tells a story — one that shapes how your brand is perceived.
At Lebama Communications, we believe external communication is not just about getting noticed — it’s about being understood, respected, and remembered.
The Power of Effective External Communication
External communication is the bridge between your organization and the outside world — customers, partners, investors, the media, and the broader community. When done well, it:
- Builds brand credibility and trust.
- Strengthens stakeholder relationships.
- Positions your organization as an industry leader.
- Opens doors to new opportunities and partnerships.
But in a crowded, fast-moving information landscape, it takes more than sending out a press release to make an impact. It requires strategy, consistency, and a deep understanding of your audience.

5 Common External Communication Mistakes Businesses Make
Even the most established organizations can stumble when it comes to engaging with the outside world. Here are five pitfalls to avoid:
Waiting Until a Crisis to Communicate
Brands that only reach out when something has gone wrong often struggle to maintain trust. Consistent, proactive communication builds goodwill long before a crisis hits.
Inconsistent Messaging
When your brand voice changes from one channel to another, it creates confusion and erodes trust. Consistency is key to recognition and credibility.
Neglecting the Audience’s Perspective
Focusing too much on what you want to say instead of what your audience needs to hear can make your messaging irrelevant. Know their concerns, interests, and priorities.
Overlooking the Power of Storytelling
Facts and figures are important, but stories connect emotionally. Without a narrative, your communication risks feeling flat and forgettable.
Not Monitoring Feedback and Engagement
Communication is a two-way street. Ignoring responses, comments, or sentiment means missing opportunities to adjust and improve your message.
