BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 9, 2003

Hillside Communications, Inc. a communications consulting firm providing presentation and communication workshops, announced today that it will be partnering with Aegis Creative Communications, a learning development group.

Over the past decade, the training division of Hillside Communications has worked primarily within the pharmaceutical and high-tech industries. During that time, Chris Hill, co-founder of Hillside, has implemented training programs for over 6,500 medical educators and corporate executives, preparing them with presentation skills to deliver complex scientific and business information. Recently, however, Hillside changed their approach. "It has been my experience that preparing presenters is only one part of the equation. Helping those presenters to be educators is the true focus of Hillside", said Chris Hill.

Hillside Communications designs workshops using the ACE(SM) process. The ACE process (audience, content and education) provides a proven method to collect and consider what compels an audience to listen. With this information it is then easy to craft logical, concise content that is easy to understand and easy to deliver. "The educator can focus on being a true advocate for the audience, not just a presenting expert," commented Hill.

To ensure the highest standard for quality in the development and delivery of learning solutions, Hillside turned to Ageis Creative, a Colorado-based learning development group that works primarily with clients in the life sciences arena. Their expertise is creating learning tools and programs that increase revenue, decrease expenses, and build public identity. Aegis is well known for their commitment to the highest level of technical and medical accuracy in creating learning tools centered on adult learning theory.

"Our core competency is synthesizing highly complex technical and medical information for effective delivery to specific audiences," said Dawn Repola, president. "Together with Hillside, we will leverage best practices from numerous industries to produce innovative and effective learning tools."

"When used properly, these tools can facilitate the delivery of clear, effective messages that engage an audience and enhance the learning process," commented Repola. "Teaming up with Hillside Communications ensures that our clients will receive unparalleled, quality education, delivered in an interesting and engaging manner."

"Offering services in both content development and the presentation of that content provides a great opportunity for clients to deepen the reach of their message by broadening its educational base," said Hill, co-founder and education director of Hillside Communications. "A speaker trained in key educational principles, delivering well-designed content equals incredible impact for the audience and our clients."
