Communication Plans & Budgeting

Have a plan. Work a system. Reach a goal.

Our comprehensive communication plans include detailed production and delivery schedules & budgets, touch point inventories & innovation, collateral requirements and, of course, baseline metrics to measure progress moving forward.

Over the years, Apple Box Studios has worked for a number of large to mid-size companies, creating a wide variety of multifaceted communication plans and campaigns. This experience has taught us a few very important lessons with regard to planning and execution. #1 Time is money. Don’t over plan. Keep things moving, but do it today. #2 Test, measure and make a decision. But do it today. #3 The marketing plan goes out the window on day one. Adapt. Improvise. Overcome. #4 Buy your mother flowers on YOUR birthday, not hers.
