Although the corporate communication industry acknowledges that strategy should be an integral part
of its communication programmes, few practitioners seem to understand the meaning of strategy.
“Strategy and the communications world, and particularly the PR part of that world, just do not seem to
go together. It is certainly unusual to come across a memorable, cogent, sustained, and effective
communications strategy. Not a brand strategy. Not a marketing strategy. Not an advertising strategy
— a communication strategy” (Tibble 1997:356).
