Effective Policy Advocacy and Five Basic Management Skills

Research programmes often culminate in the publication of research findings in international peer-reviewed journals and books.

This requires a more pro-active, targeted and defined advocacy strategy.

The goal of all marketing campaigns is to get maximum exposure for a brand. A highly-trafficked homepage or landing page, will help gain that exposure. Newsworthy content can increase the change of virality and brand mentions from high-level publishers are effective ways of gaining attention. Dofollow links are also important because they boost SEO value. Content marketing is all about getting closer to your audience and getting them more engaged.
