Workshop Description

Clear, compelling communications are more important than ever. But communications budgets, never large to begin with, are shrinking. So how can you do more with less?


This practical, hands-on workshop will show you how to build a comprehensive, cost-effective communications plan that advances your mission and supports your strategic goals. Through real-world examples, you’ll learn how to focus your efforts, maximize limited resources, and implement strategies that deliver measurable results. Participants will leave with a clear framework and actionable tools to help their organizations build awareness, generate interest, and drive meaningful engagement—without increasing their budget.

Who Should Attend
