1 Identify your goals and objectives

The first step is to define what you want to achieve with your strategic communications. What is the problem you are trying to address? Who are the stakeholders involved? What are the desired outcomes and indicators of success? Your goals and objectives should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). They should also align with your vision, mission, and values as a social impact leader or organization.

2 Understand your audience and context

The second step is to conduct a situational analysis of your audience and context. Who are the people you want to reach and influence? What are their needs, interests, preferences, motivations, and barriers? How do they perceive the issue of community violence and its causes and solutions? What are the cultural, social, political, and economic factors that shape their behavior and decision-making? You can use various methods such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, observation, and secondary data to gather and analyze this information.

Examine the situation from as many factors as possible. When conflict arises, rarely is it stemming from a simple problem. By taking the due diligence of understanding the problem, you are also paying the needed respect to all stakeholders to fully understand the situation before trying to resolve it. Speak with all stakeholders, both in those directly affected but also indirectly affected. Talk with those who have tried to remedy in the past. What worked and what didn’t work? Invest time in this stage to really ensure the solution is on point.

Your messages and narratives should be clear, concise, consistent, credible, and compelling. They should also be tailored to the specific characteristics, needs, and preferences of your audience segments. You can use storytelling techniques such as anecdotes, metaphors, emotions, and values to make your messages and narratives more engaging and memorable.
