The scope of cooperation
Image is a treasure. Don't let chance make you lose him.
We have appointed a dedicated PR team to work with the client. As a result, we created a detailed action plan.
Commplace's tasks include:
Analysis of the current activities of the brand and its image
This is the activity from which we start our consulting activities. Experts from Commplace analyze the current activities of the brand and its image. As a result, we have full information about the quality and quantity of activities carried out by the brand. The analysis also allows to determine the effectiveness of these activities and verify whether they are consistent with the goals and the set direction.
Communication audit
A communication audit is a process that determines how effective brand communication is. Communication is about how a company or organization sends and receives information; or makes them available to various audiences. An audit should be performed for each type of communication that the company conducts or the type of audience to which it addresses that communication. Thanks to this, we will be able to verify the strengths and weaknesses when it comes to communication (both external and internal). It is also important to set goals during an audit. Do you want to define who your key recipients are and how effectively you communicate with them? How much do they know about your products / services or your company? What mistakes have you made in the past when it comes to communication? What opportunities did you miss? First of all, how can you ensure better communication in the future? A communication audit provides a strong foundation for finding answers to the above questions.
Preparation of a tool proposal - image change
Marketing tools are tools that companies use to develop and promote their products and services, and to shape their image. The vast majority of companies use several different marketing tools, such as advertising, press releases or market research. Companies have a number of marketing tools at their disposal. Some of them are used specifically to increase sales, while others focus on building a positive brand image. It's important to know which tools are best for your brand. In other words, what tools do you need to achieve your core goals.
Preparation of a schedule of activities
At Commplace, we know that the right plan is half the battle. On issues as delicate as image building the action plan is a mandatory element of the strategy. It will allow you to prepare the brand for a possible crisis and enable earlier implementation of the so-called protective activities.
