Not a marketing expert?

Perfect for marketing and communication professionals and non-specialists alike, the Visual Communication Planner allows you to outline and visualise your strategy simply and understandably.


Climbers are used to looking at the top of the mountain and to imagine to follow the path to climb it backwards. They pick their goal and work backwards from there.


Learn how to use it

Outlining your communication strategy has never been easier. Download and print the tool, watch the videos, answer the questions and start creating your visual plan today.


Please keep in mind that each element is related to the others. You need to have in mind the whole strategy, even when you focus on defining each element.

“The perfect strategy is like water, it has no definite shape. It adapts to changing conditions, to the situation it encounters. Only in this way a strategy does achieve its goal. For this reason the Visual Communication Planner does not offer answers, but questions."

Gabriele Carboni
