Step 7: Combine and Sequence Communication Activities

In this step, communication activities are laid out on a timeline and put together logically according to audience needs, opportunities and/or competing messages or events in the environment. This step is important because it provides a way to sustain energy and resources over the life of the campaign and provides an opportunity to build the campaign.
