Communications–especially in nonprofits–is often relegated to an unfortunate ranking on our to do lists: ‘when I have time.’ Since most of us will never find our way to this magical state of being, we lose a chance to put a valuable tool to good use. And yet, investing a relatively small amount of time to planning can enable us to advance key operational and/or programmatic goals through communications.
This webinar will present a framework you can use to develop a simple communications strategy for your organization or cause. Using what you learn, you’ll be ready to craft a strategy that can be used to guide your work, enlist the help of others, and demonstrate the value of communications to your team. Key elements of your strategy include:
- comms objectives – what will be achieved through our communications activities?
- audiences to be targeted – who do we most need to reach or influence?
- desired actions + outcomes – how do we hope to engage these audiences?
- tools + tactics – what communication platforms and channels will we use (and how)?
- content priorities – what kind(s) of content/information do we plan to share?
- possible metrics to target + track – how will we measure success?
All participants will receive: instructions to access the live webinar, preparation tips to make the most of the live call, a recording of live event, and a mini action kit that includes helpful resources to help you put what you learn into practice.
Advance registration is required.
