In the world of the public sector, where resources are scarce and demands are high, crafting a campaign can be tough.
But here’s something exciting: The UK’s Government Communications Service (GCS) have developed (The OASIS Framework), a model specifically designed with the public sector in mind, which can help them bring order and clarity to their campaign planning process.
This framework offers a series of well-defined steps that will guide you through the intricate landscape of crafting impactful campaigns.
So What is The OASIS Framework?
The OASIS framework is a strategic tool designed to enhance the precision and effectiveness of campaign planning. It is structured around five key stages:
- Objectives
- Audience/Insight
- Strategy/Ideas
- Implementation
- Scoring/Evaluation
Let’s explore each stage in more detail.
Objectives (O)
The success of any campaign lies in clear and well-defined objectives. They outline the intended achievements of your communications activities. It’s essential to begin by aligning these objectives with the overarching policy aim. Your communication objectives should not only support the policy aim, but also outline the role that individual activities or channels will play in attaining them.
These objectives should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART). By following the SMART approach, you lay the foundation for a well-structured and purpose-driven campaign.
Cheat Code: Incorporating the Oasis Framework into your campaign planning can be a transformative journey, made even smoother with the Orlo platform. Our dynamic solutions can aid your organisation in creating compelling content that resonates with your target audience, ensuring that your campaign objectives are effectively communicated.
Audience Insight (A)
Understanding your audience is not just a crucial aspect, it is the very heart and soul of effective communication. The days of adopting a one-size-fits-all approach are long gone. Today’s audience demands personalisation and relevance in their interactions.
Tailoring your communication to specific segments based on audience research and data insights is the key to creating campaigns that truly resonate.
Effective communication relies on understanding your audience deeply. Personalisation is key to engaging modern audiences. Conduct thorough audience research and gather data-driven insights to gain a profound understanding of their needs, preferences, and motivations.
Tip: Orlo’s Insights aligns seamlessly with this step, empowering you to gain valuable insights about your target audience. Orlo leverages the power of AI to cut through the noise and convert vast amounts of data into meaningful, actionable knowledge. Understand your audience’s preferences, pain points, and aspirations with greater clarity, enabling you to refine your campaigns with precision.

Crafting the Strategy (S)
A successful campaign rests upon a well-crafted strategy. This strategy functions as the guiding framework that propels your campaign towards its intended destination.
Diversify your communication channels to expand your campaign’s reach while maintaining a consistent and coherent message. Remaining true to your brand identity is essential to building trust, and fostering creativity and authenticity sets your campaign apart from the crowd.

Putting Plans into Motion: Implementation (I)
Effective implementation bridges the gap between planning and execution. Develop a detailed timeline, assign responsibilities to team members, and allocate resources wisely. Collaboration with influencers and strategic partners can extend your campaign’s reach and impact.
In the public sector, where resources may be limited, consider cost-effective approaches like partnerships and public relations. Stay flexible and adaptable to address challenges and seize opportunities as they arise. A well-executed campaign sets the stage for success.
