This session was originally released as part of EveryLibrary’s virtual online Library Advocacy and Funding Conference, LAFCON 2020.
Launching a new project, initiative, or campaign can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially if you are juggling multiple roles in an organization. Not having a clear understanding of messaging or priorities means that content and strategy efforts can go on autopilot. Then your campaign launches to disappointing engagement rates and ultimately, it can feel like a waste of time.
In this session, we will discuss how to organize your messaging and strategy through a clear and approachable marketing plan, and will provide you with an applicable template to get you started. We will discuss:
- How to connect audience targets and personas to your marketing plan
- How to pinpoint when a plan utilizes which social media platforms, email marketing, PR, and traditional marketing methods.
- How to outline campaign content and its integration with other content in your calendar
- How to communicate your marketing plan with multiple stakeholders and team members.
This session will be great for the “doers” and their direct supervisors: marketing managers, digital content/social media managers, and librarians who also have marketing duties.
