COMS 101 - Strategic Communication Planning for Contractors

You can’t market effectively without having a plan that looks at all factors

Description

Clear, effective communication. Sounds simple, right? Actually, it is quite a difficult thing to achieve, especially with respect to your business. Where is your market and how do you effectively communicate with it? What about keeping your message consistent and communicating that need with your internal staff? How do you deal with the public? A good strategic communications plan answers with all of those questions.

The ability to reach the right people in the right way at the right times in the right places is critical to the success of any business. Strategic Communication planning is critical to external and internal communications, as well as to marketing and public relations. You can’t market effectively without having a plan that looks at all factors. Course leader Jill Ellis-Worthington breaks down what can be a complicated process in a step-by-step method.
