This section suggests things to consider when you are planning your communications. If you would like more details or support please email us at communications@europe.anglican.org  Remember that if there is just one of you, it is still great use of your time to plan ahead.  You could just use post it notes to keep track, and bullet points to jot ideas down.  This stage needs to work for you and be practical.

Good communications need to be organised, developed, and built. The first step in the process is to create a communications strategy.

The most important thing to keep in mind is who are you talking to, and what action do you want them to do as a result of your communications. 

Don’t let resources or time constraints keep you from setting objectives, identifying your most important audiences or thinking about how to keep these audiences engaged.

A strategy is related to, but different from, your communications plan. A communications plan sets out the actions you will take as a result of your strategy: the how and when of communicating to your audiences.
