Before you start

Common questions about Marketing & Communication

Is this a marketing campaign service?

This service establishes direction and priorities. Asban can separately support campaign strategy, media, content, design, production, and reporting once the mandate is approved.

Can the work include internal communications?

Yes. The scope can connect external communications with staff, leadership, change, recruitment, or partner communications when those audiences affect the same objective.

What information is useful at the start?

Bring organizational plans, audience research, past campaigns, analytics, budgets, channel access, brand guidance, calendars, and known approval or capacity constraints.
