Communications planning helps ideas find their way into the world then around it. It decides where and how and in front of whom the idea appears. If there’s an idea to begin with. This is important because most campaigns go ignored.
There are two main challenges for comms planning. First, it gets squeezed out by efficiency-infatuated minds who believe algorithms must decide everything, including entire media plans. Second, since comms planning is most effective when it pops up throughout the advertising creation process, a lot of companies don’t know when and how to bring it in.
- What communications planning is,
- How communications planning fits into the advertising process,
- Frameworks and techniques to take ideas into the world, and
- How to get people on board with your ideas.
Maria will show you a methodology for exploring then orchestrating ideas.
