Marketing Strategy

Your strategy is the foundation of all your marketing.

Your marketing strategy is the start point of all marketing and what makes marketing work, or not. Often people think that marketing is an interesting leaflet or an engaging email, the thought that goes into the creative beforehand is what really counts.

What is a Marketing Strategy?

Your business marketing strategy is your plan or approach to growing your business.  Typically you would reflect and review past activity, the business environment and then decide how you wish to take your business forward.  We work with a lot of clients to help them establish their strategy and we have a number of different solutions to suit all budgets.  For our comprehensive marketing strategy session we would start by running with a 3-4hr brainstorm session to really get under the skin of what is happening in the business. Some clients have said this is like therapy. We get all of your thoughts and ideas down into a usable format so that you can then apply this to making any future marketing choices.

Why do I need a Marketing Strategy?

So many of my clients ask me “Why should you have a marketing strategy?” My response is why would you not? Not only is it essential to oraganise your marketing approach, decide what you are going to do, where you focus and but it can also save you money as it will help guide your creative and media choices.

Whilst there is more to it we will typically work through:

Business objectives: What are you trying to achieve?

Target audience: Defining who they are and their pain points, is critical and will influence all of your marketing.

Understand the business environment: What kind of market is your business operating in? What do you need to be aware of?

Past successes: Reflect on what marketing has worked or not worked for you in the past? We would then understand why?

Content planning: Key in today’s digital world we will also consider what kind of content we should share to engage with your audience.

How can we help?
