  • Haven't updated your communications strategy in more than a year

  • Are sending the same communications you've always sent and seeing diminishing returns

  • Don't have budget for a consultant but need a more creative and tailored strategy

What You'll Have When You're Done

  • SWOT Analysis: A clear-eyed assessment of your communications strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats

  • Collateral & Channel Audit: An inventory of what you have, what's outdated, and what to create

  • Communications Vision: A specific, measurable statement of what success looks like in 12 months

  • 3-4 Strategic Objectives: Concrete goals with defined audiences, messages, channels, and timelines

  • Plan-on-a-Page: A one-page summary you can share with leadership, board, and staff

  • Prioritized Action List: Clear next steps so you know exactly what to do Monday morning

This workbook includes a 1) How-To-Use Guide; 2) Quickstart Checklist; 3) Facilitator Cheat Sheet; 4) SWOT Worksheet; 5) Collateral & Channel Audit; and most of all 5) Strategic Mission-To-Message Workbook — plus practical tips on expanding your audience to lookalike groups, and more.
