Important Questions
•What internal stakeholders do you need to
involve?
•What audience(s) are you targeting, and how
do you normally engage them?
•What other initiatives are you working on
with that audience?
•Is this a one off chat, or part of a recurring
series?
•Do you have partnerships with other
organizations or associations that can cross
promote?
•Do you have a marketing spend or use a
recruiting advertising agency? Should you
involve another person on your team who is
responsible for marketing?
10. Market chats together as a series, so you
don’t have to recreate the wheel each time
