I am a bit of a research nerd. A lot of strategy work I undertake for customers is grounded in data and insights. Why is this so important?

A lot of communication is for communication's sake, and in a world where we are all overwhelmed with content more than ever, we should focus on what matters and why. Only producing communication that supports our business or purpose (or both)

So today I wanted to share with you why you should be planning your communication activity and not sailing into it hoping for a happy accident.

You will learn

- Why research is important to set yourself up to succeed

- How communication is a support function of your business

- Why goal setting is important
