Chapter 8: Writing for Business

Explore Your Understanding

Consider the following questions.

  • Brands use social media all the time.  Think of an example of a brand’s use of social media that you didn’t like.  Why didn’t you like it?  What would you have done differently?
  • How does the choice of medium (memo, letter, social media) impact the tone, style and content of a business message?  When do you think each medium is most important?
  • In the age of digital communication, how has the role of formal letters and printed memos evolved, and when are they still relevant?
  • How does the use of visual elements, such as images, infographics, and videos enhance the effectiveness of social media business communication?
