STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION
Our model helps you identify strategic communication priorities, target audiences, and the platforms and methods to deliver consistent messages.
By maintaining open lines of communication with an organization’s community, the successful implementation of the strategic communications model enables stakeholders to consistently find and receive information building trust and meaningful impact in the organization’s community.
Just like a distinct character in every story, each school district has its own set of unique attributes – from diverse communities and educational philosophies to varied resources and priorities. We understand this, and that’s why our approach is tailored to fit your unique narrative.
Partner → Identify → Prioritize → Define → Execute → Review
