Planning

Don’t waste another dollar on activities that don’t fit into a larger strategy. We will start with your goals, customize a communications plan to fit your organization, and coach your team to implement it.

A successful strategy starts with articulating the large scale change you envision and working backwards from there. Adamec Communications works closely with your team to ensure that every dollar, every second, and every ounce of energy you invest in communications has purpose and can be connected back to your mission and vision. Strategies are customized to fit your organization’s size, capacity, and strengths. We will sequence implementation so not to overwhelm and we will offer unique insights based on the experience we bring having worked across the social impact space.

 

Planning Work

  • A community foundation asked Adamec Communications to assess its need for internal communications staff, develop a job description and core competencies, and eliminate the one-off, feel-good tactics that were wasting valuable time and money.
  • A regional trade organization asked Adamec Communications to help them develop a communications strategy to align with their new strategic plan.
  • A technical assistance provider asked Adamec Communications to work with their clients who were strategizing ways to reform their local school system. We helped them develop the community engagement plan to ensure residents felt ownership and did not resist the change.
