To achieve this, they introduce a new, unique and complete approach to communication: The Campaign It! model. Developed over several decades of influencing change at the highest levels and in different environments, the Campaign It! model is tried and tested, and in the book, Parker and Bernard offer proof that it works. Their basic tenet is that whenever there is an outcome people need to achieve they will have to inform, persuade and gain agreement from others. Their model, the "campaigning approach," makes this possible: it provides a plan and a structure to develop communications; it enables people to help themselves, their families, their businesses and/or their communities"--; "Campaign It! provides a new definition and understanding of what makes a cause. It explains why, in our modern society, a communications campaign is the most powerful way to achieve success. And it demonstrates how it is possible to create and apply an irresistible communications campaign to any aspect of our professional and personal lives. Whatever the situation, we always need to influence others if we are to achieve our goals. Campaign It! can help you do that. It's written by leading professionals who demonstrate that communications can be created in such a way that the message becomes powerful and compelling. At the heart of every successful campaign is a cause that motivates and drives a desire to succeed. With such a cause anyone can apply the Campaign It! model to devise a communications campaign to create success"-- ER -
