STRATEGIC PLANNING
Strategic Communications Planning
All successful marketing efforts strain from a strategic communications plan. At BOC, we pride ourselves on the approach we use for new clients looking to build out a multi-lateral strategy.
While every company’s goals and objectives are unique, we sit down with your team to decipher the company’s values, vision, audience(s), presence in the market and the core objectives that the company is working towards. With this information, our team can provide our recommendations, KPI’s, project management medium and put your strategy into action.
As noted below, BOC welcomes any clients who pursue a strategic planning session to take their plan to execute in-house, however, our team is always open to working with new clients and supporting the execution of their strategic communications plan.
Our Process:
- Discovery call with BOC team member(s).
- Client in-take questionnaire sent to client contact.
- Upon completion, a custom agenda is prepared and sent to the client contact for review prior to the session.
- Both parties agree on a time, date and location to conduct the session, calendar invites are sent to all applicable team members.
- The strategic planning session duration is typically 3-4 hours. The agenda offers a time-efficient session, covering crucial points of discussion.
- Post-session, the company will receive a strategic communications overview document, which includes a re-iteration of the session, objectives, the audience breakdown, the strategic approach to each medium, defined marketing vehicles and next steps.
- Upon receipt of the document, the client has the choice of managing their strategic communications plan internally or pursue BOC as their service provider.
