• Brachers will look at things from several angles and give us options rather than be entirely prescriptive about a single route. They offer guidance, ideas and alternatives where they can rather than black and white, matter of fact responses. They are happy to proof-read proposed communications to our people to make sure they are factually and tonally appropriate. They are knowledgeable and patient. A trait which is valued when we’re working in areas or on topics that are new or unusual to our in-house team.
