Communication Strategy: Choosing your Channels
It is essential that messages are given through the most appropriate channel, to ensure that they are received and understood by the relevant audiences.
A campaign might involve a mixture of different channels to reach the widest possible audience. Sticking to one channel isn't always the best plan, and getting the channels working together is good practice. It gives our customers choice and makes our message accessible.
