CAM speaks to an entire field: individual and institutional members spread across most of California's counties, from historical societies and tribal museums to botanical gardens, science centers, and aquariums. Cognito reviewed the association's website, social channels, member newsletter, and outreach as a single communications system, with particular attention to how one voice can serve an audience that varies so widely in size, discipline, and need. The resulting strategic plan mapped where the message was doing its job, where it was thinning out, and how to bring each channel into line with the association's goals for its members.
