Communications PlanningGetting Organized and Making a Plan
Brand and Reputation
Brand is more than a logo and tagline; it is the promise you make
and sets up expectations for consistent experiences.
Brand
(Internal and external) = The individuals, groups, stakeholders
and other influencers that influence your progress.
Relationships
Whether people believe you fulfill the brand promise and how it
influences attitudes and behaviors toward your organization and its
products/services; reputation evolves over time, but can be
quickly destroyed.
Reputation
Where Are You in the Process?
Research and Defining the Challenge
• The problem, concern or opportunity
• What’s the desired situation?
• Research examples: – GoogleNews/Blogs – Social Media Monitoring– Radian6– Search Engine Optimization
Step One: Program Goal
Social Media Listening Dashboard• Social Networks• Blogs• Social Ads• Micro-Blogs• RSS Feeds• Wikis• Applications
• Social
Bookmarking• User Generated
Content• Multi-Media
Sharing• Tagging• Forums• Communities• Widgets
Radian6/Social Media
Radian6/Social Media
• Both Internal and External
• What’s happening now?– Positive /Negative
• Who’s involved and/or affected and how?
Step Two: Situation Analysis
Toolkit Application
• Opportunity to provide resources on reduction and reuse
• A lot of people tend to accumulate “stuff” when they’re going through life changes (marriage, children, etc.) and at a younger age
• People don’t like to be told what to do; but they enjoy ads that make them laugh.
Planning
Step Three: Target Publics
• Who must the program respond to, reach and affect?– Internal Audiences– External Audiences
Step Four: Objectives
• What must be achieved with each public to accomplish the program goal?
• Informational or Motivational? – Contains four parts:
1. Audience2. Behavior/Action
3. Measurement4. Timeframe
• What changes must be made to achieve objectives?• What message content must be communicated to
achieve objectives?• Key messages answer what publics must know and
believe to act in accordance with the goals and objectives.
• What media/channels best deliver content to target publics?
