## Resource

Joshua Altman, Founder and Managing Director of beltway.media, joins Robin Ayoub to unpack what it really means to be a Chief Communications Officer and why consistent, strategic storytelling is the difference between brands that resonate and brands that disappear into the noise. Drawing on his background as a multimedia journalist at The Hill newspaper, Joshua shares his know-story-narrative-brand framework and makes the case for quality over volume in every channel.
