Where should we invest our time and money?

Strategic objectives
• Place your focus on these • Link everything to them
– Your strategy – Your audiences – Your tactical activity plan – What you measure – How and what you report
![Page 5: Demonstrating the value of investing in new technologies€¦ · • PR • Social media – Outreach – Community building – Word of mouth . The many roles of social media Listening/)buzz](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060510/5f273597a34b3e776c059316/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
If activity doesn’t fit with strategic plan, don’t waste resources on it

What if we have little or no spare time or money?
![Page 7: Demonstrating the value of investing in new technologies€¦ · • PR • Social media – Outreach – Community building – Word of mouth . The many roles of social media Listening/)buzz](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060510/5f273597a34b3e776c059316/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Focus on doing a little, but well
• Put your resources in priority strategic areas – Specific target audiences – Key projects
• This will increase the likelihood that you will achieve demonstrable success – Trying to do too much will spread you too thin to do
anything thoroughly • Even one powerful, evidenced success story will
strengthen your case for investment in the future
