In my field, strategic communication (SC) is the overarching framework and set of guiding principles that shapes every message, asking, “What is the ultimate goal of our communication efforts, and how can we align all elements to achieve it?”
By contrast, strategic communications (SCs) comprises the specific tactics and activities that bring that framework to life, asking, “What concrete steps must we take to reach our objectives?”
