As a communications professional, you juggle communicating with different audiences, different messages, different channels, and different timing. Having a solid communications plan is a must. Double that if different people are involved. Experience shows that if you plan your work, and work your plan, you will not only simplify your life, but will become more effective, too.

Here’s what a communications plan can do for you:

  • Give you the space to make your communications more strategic in nature;
  • Create a roadmap for coordinating outreach and events;
  • Allow you to better coordinate messages across channels;
  • Give you a way to more closely align messaging and ideal timing of release; and
  • Help you see both the forest and its trees at the same time.
