My Strategy For Your Success
online Strategy workflow
I like to follow my 5 Rs strategy with all of my clients. Starting from the the most important stage of the process, the message. Once you have your message right, let’s work out the best type of digital content to represent your message. Next, target the right audience, really get to know them and understand their needs. Next is the right platform, and the right platform is where your audience is whether it’s a single focus or multi platform approach. All of this hard work pays off when you publish your media at the right time, once you know your audience, this will become obvious.
The Right Message
Let's start with a strategy session to define your outcomes and results.
In The Right Content
Now let's plan the most effective type of content to deliver your outcomes.
To The Right Audience
It all hinges on having eyes on your message, but it's the right eyes that matter.
On The Right Platform
Choosing the "correct" platform is crucial. Let's define that now.
And At The Right Time
Catch your audience while they are online and maximise your reach.
