CODAR is the big breakthrough in communications planning: here is your route to finding out more

CODAR is a simple to use Open Planning tool designed by Professor Angus Jenkinson that offers agenices and clients significant short and long term benefits at a low cost.

It is effective for any and all types of agency and clients and across the full range of communication channels.

CODAR enables all marketing communication activity to be planned and evaluated using the same core framework. It is based on a profound understanding of people, marketing communication, and planning and evaluation methodology. It is people and communication, not media or discipline-based. It therefore enhances creative potential. CODAR also supports accountability, learning and knowledge management, which is particularly relevant to large agency and client groups.

CODAR dimensions

Research by the Media Neutral Planning Best Practice Group (a group of senior marketers supported by the CIM and The Centre for Integrated Marketing) was a catalyst in defining the needs for a tool like CODAR. Subsequently, the Group identified CODAR as a unique solution and the direction of the future.
