Communications rarely gets allocated a big budget. Sometimes it is a budget afterthought. Many times, it’s regarded as a “should do” rather than a “must do”...and all the "to do's" can feel quite overwhelming to someone who hasn't managed strategic communication initiatives before or had it added to their already full plate.
Yet the need to communicate effectively in today’s fragment media – and social media - world is great. The good news is, PR isn't rocket science. And it doesn't need to be expensive. It takes clear deliberate messaging, strategic planning, focused outreach, and dedicated time for implementation and follow-up.
