Description
A well-planned campaign can be the difference between achieving your goal and not having an impact with your resources. The most successful campaigns start with a clear, attainable objective and include a system to monitor progress. With those key elements, you’ll have a living document that you can adjust when something unexpected inevitably happens.
During this course, you’ll learn the high-level elements of creating digital campaign plans that are comprehensive and also leave room for the unknown. You’ll explore how to include input from stakeholders and the community you serve. By the end of the course, you’ll know how to write a campaign plan that keeps you and your team focused on the big picture while charting a clear course for success.
