Key Message The key message is to inform all members of the Lakewood Community that recycling is vital to improving life in the community.
Based on the facts provided, our desired audience, our company's goals, and most importantly our key message, we have devised two strategic plans, which we believe will achieve our said goals.
As stated, our company's plan is to increase to the fullest potential recycling in the Lakewood community. We believe that those members of the community who do not recycle are either uneducated about recycling or have not been properly informed of the effects of not recycling. We feel that one of the best ways to make these citizens aware is to incorporate high-ranking public officials from the community to help to promote recycling in the community. By portraying these high-ranking officials as every day citizens, our plan is to show that everyone should care about recycling whether rich or poor. Placing these officials in an environment similar to that of Lakewood citizens will help the public relate to these officials, furthermore decreasing their ignorance on the topic and increasing the desire to recycle.
