Today’s paradox
High effort for moderate outcome
Companies take an enormous effort to produce their reports. But as soon as they are published, stakeholders are expected to find the reports themselves. No other comparable cost-intensive product would be communicated so little.
Heavy and intense workload
Content production for each report causes an enormous effort. In comparison, communication activities are planned with a much smaller extent.
Giant, six-figure budgets
Six-figure budgets are invested to create a report. On contrary, companies spend a minimal amount on communication.
Large amounts of time invested
Teams of different persons are involved and easily spend hundreds of hours on creation. Relative to this: One user reads 3 minutes per visit on average.

- Create a strategic communication plan throughout the year.
- Paid ad campaigns effectively support your goals.
- Even with low budgets, you can broaden your reach significantly.
Unique user visits after online report publication
