An integrated, audience-centred approach to communications can assist charities in delivering on a range of aims simultaneously. It can help communicators achieve deeper engagement, greater coherence and improved efficiency. But just how is this Holy Grail achieved?
We examined integration at a strategic, organisational level with examples of how charities are organising themselves and changing cultures and minds to help departments work together to better achieve shared goals. We also explored integration on a more practical level with a look at messaging, targeting, channels, systems and processes.
