The three key takeaways from our Planning for Effectiveness series
We wrap-up our Planning for Effective Outcomes series with a panel discussion. Thanks to WARC for sponsoring.

Ep#6 Planning for Effective Outcomes: The downfall of media measurement in comms with Karen Nelson-Field
Not all reach is equal. In this final episode of the series, we talk about the importance of attention metrics in reach-based comms planning and its impact on effectiveness/efficiency.

Ep#5 Planning for Effective Outcomes: The Creative Relationship
When it comes to creative, it’s respect and chemistry that fuels everything. I talk with Greg Hahn and James Hurman about the personalities and how best to work with each.

Ep#4 Planning for Effective Outcomes: Writing Creative Briefs
Arguably the most critical episode in the series, we talk about two key documents: strategy on a page and the creative brief.

Ep#3 Planning for Effective Outcomes: Metrics & Measurement
Harry Davies on ways to avoid common mistakes when designing and socializing metrics within our organizations.

Ep#2 Planning for Effective Outcomes: "Performance vs. Brand"
Ep#2 focuses on performance vs. brand and the blasphemous idea of both in a single execution. This series brought to you by WARC.

Ep#1 Planning for Effectiveness: "Starting out right" with Mark Ritson
Ep#1 is setting direction and defining objectives. Mark Ritson shares tips on how to get started right and the mistakes too many are making.
