Integrated Communications Strategies

The ultimate aim of branding, campaigns, knowledge management, visual identity, consultation surveys, brochures, benchmarking tools and websites is to help your organisation achieve its aims.

Our communications strategies ensure your use of these tools and services is coherent, cost efficient and target bound.  We use our own tried and tested model to help develop a 'joined-up' communications service for our clients.

We call it integrated because it's about creating an unbroken circuit between you and your stakeholders.  The circuit flows as follows:

  1. Information communicated to stakeholders through visual identity, brochures, websites, public relations, e-mail etc
  2. Information gathered from your stakeholders and the wider external environment, through on-line surveys, benchmarking, focus groups, events, market research and questionnaires.
  3. Knowledge managed to improve your services and how you communicate with stakeholders. 

The benefits?

If your strategy is well conceived and you communications are well managed, the circuit should remain unbroken and the enhanced relationship you have with stakeholders provides you with the knowledge you need to improve the quality of your services. 

The better informed you are the more able you are to meet stakeholders' needs the more innovative you become.

Ethical Media develops the strategies, provides the communications services and also works in partnership with clients to manage their communications to achieve agreed targets. 

Please get in touch if you want to benefit from this pioneering approach.  For a case study of a integrated strategy see Upstream.
