Communications strategy does not need to be overly complex but provides a clear roadmap to achieve impact. This means outlining the objectives, key principles, target audiences, messages, and ways of working, such as tactics and channels. Yet, it also means finding the stand-out inspirations that will grab attention and truly connect with people.
