How do I define my communication objective?

The best way to define a communication and marketing objective is using a model. Unlike a methodology, it provides a simple and flexible framework to structure my thinking.

CHOOSE A MODEL

Have you ever heard of SMART goals?

SMART is an acronym for the five parameters used to measure a marketing objective. This model has the key advantage of being easy to verify and replicate.

In general, the world of marketing offers plenty of good models, I just need to find the right balance between theory and practice.

How to reach my communication objectives

For example, the 5 Whys Model offers an approach to exhaustively break down any strategic decision while the REAN (Reach, Engage, Activate, Nurture) Model covers the key stages of the consumer journey.

In conclusion, any model that challenges my beliefs, without confining me to a purely intellectual exercise, can help me to accurately define my marketing objectives.
