10 Elements of a Public Relations Plan

Part of my job, of course, involves reviewing and creating Public Relations plans for my clients. I am often asked what elements to include. The attached may help you in creating yours.

NOTE: This 10-step plan should begin after analysis of the situation, definition of desired positioning, mission and vision.

1) Goals:

• I usually like to define one overriding goal with three sub goals. These should be consistent with the management goals and mission

2) Target Audience

• The audience that needs to understand or hear the message.
• Usually includes audiences such as: – employees, customers, shareholders, analysts, media, Government bodies etc.

3) Key Messages

• Define three key messages. Each message may have sub-messages, but keep the primary number to three. People remember three things!

4) Objectives for those audiences – what you want to achieve

• Consider the action, attitude or awareness desired from the audiences. Use words such as:- accept, approve, support, buy, oppose etc.
• Specific results – audience, desired outcome, measurement, time frame. For example – after three months 85% of shareholders will have accepted the new share offer.

7) Measurement

• Measurement, observation, opinion, feedback. Very important to have a measurement system.

8) Budget

• Out of pocket, staff cost, retainer or by the hour

9) Timetable and responsibilities

• Who will do what by when

10) Review

• Set a date for review. Objectives change over time, as do the messages.
