What to expect: planning ahead
Working with Stratcom requires a mutual understanding of practices and expectations. As with all other departments within the university, Stratcom needs to prioritize its resources and juggle various simultaneous projects. We therefore recommend you contact us as soon as you can, to allow enough time for a planning/feasibility phase.
This phase, often the most overlooked, is critical to defining/understanding your requirements, developing the most suitable approach, securing resources, briefing the team members concerned.
Stratcom’s estimated timelines for projects are as follows:
- Audiovisual projects: 6–10 weeks
- Print projects: 7–12 weeks
- Digital projects: 4–8 weeks
- Major website projects: 2–8 months
Important note: In exceptional cases, Stratcom can accommodate rush jobs, if other priorities and resources allow. This is done by finding practical solutions; for example, templates can be provided or post-event reporting can be conducted in lieu of live coverage.
