“Currently it is ad-hoc but the ambition for 2016 is introduce a plan for a defined section of the business and,
depending on results, look to extend this across the wider company portfolio.”
“Ad-hoc approach at the moment. Looking to build a plan that links with internal strategy”
“Try to plan ahead but only weekly. Also, ad-hoc approach on top of the planned stuff.”
“Currently it is ad-hoc and sporadic. Would like to move to a content strategy model.”
“We only really have a content plan for our graduate campaign each year which is set up be our media agency
and mainly focused on Facebook. All our other content is very ad hoc and unplanned.”
