Hosts: Renee Chuichiarelli & Julie Parks

In the final installment of the Tariff Chaos mini-series, (dont worry, we have several other series coming up) Hammer & Heels (Renee & Julie) tackle the one thing that makes or breaks a trade compliance strategy: communication.

With tariffs shifting weekly, how you frame updates and who you deliver them to is just as important as the analysis itself. This episode dives into practical ways to avoid “tariff fatigue” while keeping your executives and teams engaged.

Identify Your Audience – Determine who needs tariff updates: executives, task forces, committees, or broader staff groups.

Set the Right Cadence – In today’s environment, weekly updates may be necessary to keep leadership informed and reduce uncertainty.

Engage Other Departments – Finance, supply chain, and other functions should be part of the conversation. Call out their contributions to strengthen alignment.

👉 This week’s action item: Map out your comms path. Decide who gets tariff updates, how often, and in what format (newsletter, task force meeting, executive brief, etc.). Move from ad hoc emails to a consistent, repeatable approach.
