"Please believe me."
"She really believes in me."
"I just don't believe he's telling the truth."
"We all believe they can pull it off."
"Do you believe what she said?"
"I believe you."
 
Belief.
 
It's one of the most important words in our lives.
 
Belief is "the condition or habit of placing trust or confidence in another," according to the American Heritage Dictionary. It's the "mental acceptance of and conviction in the truth, actuality or validity of something." It means "to accept as true or real."
 
Most people think branding, communications and public relations are focused on communication. At Beaupre, we believe it's really all about the existence of belief… or lack of it. The goal isn't to communicate, but rather to be understood, supported, trusted… and believed.

Every initiative for every Beaupre client is deeply rooted in this philosophical approach to public relations. In 1995 we coined a term for our practice methodology: Belief Creation.

Beaupre communications, branding and PR programs are successful because they are rooted in five key steps:

• We take the time to understand the mindset, perceptions, attitudes and beliefs of the individual people we are trying to positively influence.
• We create measurable plans aligning our client with these key individuals, creating "a common meeting ground."
• We establish a consistent pattern of communication that's two-way, not one-way.
• We continually prove what a client company is saying and doing is indeed credible.
• We help create bottom-up, grassroots, online communities.

 
When we take this approach, an amazing correlation occurs: positive momentum grows. The practice of communications dramatically shifts from "getting the word out" (one-way) to "getting people to believe what you are saying and doing is meaningful and the right thing" (two-way).
 
Belief Creation casts Beaupre client companies, products and executives in a far more commanding light. The people you are trying so hard to 'get to,' now believe you are worthy and deserving of their time, attention and coverage. You've broken down what we call "the wall of disbelief." This is when real marketing success starts to happen, and it's how we get our clients to their ultimate end game.
