Welcome to Pearl Street Academy!
Pearl Street is passionate about the role that good communication plays in building profitable businesses, strong organizations and engaged communities.
We have learned a lot over the years creating powerful marketing and engagement programs for our clients. Pearl Street Academy is our chance to share our marketing knowledge and experience to help grow your individual, team and corporate communication skills.
Our COVID ready virtual training
While COVID has shifted how your team works, it has not changed the need to empower your staff with the skills to communicate effectively online and in person. As all our organizations deal with seismic shifts from the pandemic, it is clear that soft skills are no longer a nice to have. As this LinkedIn survey shows, they are in fact, critical to organizational survival.
Pearl Street has modified a number of our established in-person training programs for delivery through Zoom in 3 hour windows (with two 15 min breaks). We promise the same fun and engaging learning experience we offer in person, all from the comfort of your virtual offices. #BringYourOwnCoffee
Our virtual training programs are ideal for teams of 8 - 15 and are best when participants have access to a quiet space and Zoom. Most programs include a workbook that we send ahead of time and encourage participants to make notes with. We include a free 15 minute Zoom prep before each session to ensure everyone is feeling comfortable with the training technology.
All our programs can be customized to your specific learning or timing needs.

Traditional and new media are important marketing tools for every organization that is looking to build profile, sell products and change perceptions. Engaging with the media, however, is not just about picking up the phone or sending out a media release. Using the media as a marketing tool is a strategic decision that demands clarity and focus from the organization and its representatives. Pearl Street can help with both.
