How to develop an effective communication campaign integrating social media?

The secret is in the process: an effective communication campaign should be divided into three significant phases: 1) Programmatic strategy, 2) Operational strategy and 3) Measurements and corrective actions.

The first phase is the Programmatic strategy.
Based on your Brand strategy (vision, missions, value, positioning), you start defining the objectives of the campaign, your target groups and the key messages plus the specific ones.
Then, it is necessary to identify where and how your organisation meets its target groups — called the touchpoints.

The second phase is operational.
You need to define the milestones of your campaign.
Each milestone will be built like an impulse with a before, during and after the period. Each will be placed on a timeline.
Each milestone should be personalised in a consistent, recognisable way. The essential of the personalisation is based on a mixt composed of the main messages to convey through the campaign and by your brand identity.  
Each milestone is promoted through a social media campaign.
At this stage, the choice of the mix of social media where you will be active is crucial. This selection could be guided by the presence of your targets group on the chosen social media.

The third phase is a cyclic process that consists of measuring the impact of the implementation of your milestones. The effect of your actions can be measured through the analytics offered by your social media and Google analytics.
You can learn, the actions realised with success —that you could repeat and the failures to bypass.

And now that you have the recipe are you ready for being a great chef?
We can help you prepare the perfect meal!

Animated video is an appealing instrument that helps you comprehensively tell your story: animation simplifies complex topics.

We all know that the secret to an effective animation is to start with the drafting of an appropriate storyboard. But, why is storyboarding essential before developing an animation?

A storyboard works like the blueprint of the architect. During the storyboarding phase, you can identify most errors related to the narration, media, and other relevant details.

Storyboarding is crucial for four mains  reasons:

1) The storyboard allows checking if the concept works.  The storyboard determines the direction the animation is going to take.

2) While creating the storyboard, you can write and test impactful punch lines and dialogues.

3) Will the action work? Storyboards contain notes that give a whole idea of how the animation would flow in its entirety.

4) For complex animations, to avoid over budget, it is better to have an approved storyboard before entering the production phase of the project.

The European construction industry in numbers

FIEC speaks for the European construction industry.  Through its 30 national member federations in 27 European countries, it represents, without discrimination, construction enterprises of all sizes, from all building and civil engineering specialities, engaged in all kinds of working methods.

FIEC publishes yearly a publication giving information about construction activity in Europe.

27countries are analysed individually and the European Union as a whole under the following headings:
- General overview
- Overall construction activity (incl. employment)
- New housebuilding
- Renovation and maintenance of residential buildings
- Non-residential building
- Civil-engineering
- Construction abroad

The statistics are expressed in percentages (and some in real figures), and the data are given over a period of 10 years. The forecasts are valid for up to one year.

Page in extremis has designed and produced the 2018 edition of the FIEC economic report. Since 2012, FIEC has entrusted the development of its visual communication strategy and the production of its supports to Page in extremis, the communication agency specialised in corporate and institutional communication.

"Target publics can be identified by analysing which people are important to an organisation in a specific situation. All organisations have stakeholders, people who have an interest in the organisation. Often, the term stakeholders is used as a synonym for target publics but this is an insufficient description of the people who matter to an organisation in a specific situation: the two terms are not interchangeable"

— J. Mahoney in Strategic Communication - Campaign Planning (Second Edition)

He asserts: “This figure indicates the importance of defending the construction industry’s collective interests with competence and as early as possible in legislative procedures which deal with aspects that have an impact on our industry.”
