ACA Communications Toolkit

A good public relations strategy starts with a plan. Using the toolkit as a guide, you can develop a publicity plan with deadlines and submission guideline requirements for various media outlets.

Your plan should include an objective statement, goals, and a detailed outline on how you will reach your target audience with the ACA message. Some questions to keep in mind are:

What is your goal?
How do you intend to reach your goal?
Who is your audience ? Students? Parents? Policy makers?
What are your key messages?
How will you track your results?
How will you know you reached your goal?
