Communications Planning Framework (AIESEC)
This Communications Planning Framework should guide you as you strategize on how to reach your target
audience using the right communication channels. It is not made to box your thoughts or limit your perspective. It
is to help you put structure in your plans to make execution a lot easier.
5. Be consistent.
Otherwise, you will leave your audience confused. Stick with a message so the message will stick. This also
refers to the mood you depict in your publicity materials.
7. Innovate.
There are six elements in a communication mix: Advertising, Sales Promotion, Product Placement, Publicity
and PR, Direct Marketing, Guerilla Marketing. Advertising (e.g. videos, posters) is used to achieve a high level
of awareness. Sales Promotion (e.g. sales discounts, buy-1-get-1) is used to destroy trial barriers. Product
Placement (e.g. endorsements, models) is used if association to certain personalities or objects is proven
effective to your target audience. Publicity and PR (e.g. launch events) are used to reinforce advertisements.
Direct Marketing (e.g. RTR) is used during instances when “to see is to believe.” Lastly, Guerilla Marketing
refers to cheap, out-of-the-box executions.
In deciding on the communication mix, steer away from common channels. Chances are that these channels
are already saturated. Review potential touch points with your target market – Where do they hang out? What
social networking sites do they visit? What events do they attend? What drives them? Exploit these.
9. Evaluate.
Set qualitative and quantitative targets. This will help when you assess your work at the end of your project.
Do not forget to link these to your objective/s.
