Design a comms plan
Whether you are just starting out, mid-way through your research, or have just reached your conclusions, it’s never too late to start communicating your research and exploring what is available.
Adopting an integrated and strategic plan online and offline will help generate momentum. In turn, this will increase your chance of reaching the audience who can benefit the most from your work.
