Marketing Strategy and Plan
The Marketing Strategy and Plan is developed first to guide the entire marketing process and tie to your overall business plan for the organization. This is the “foundation” for all the future marketing tactics.
This process starts with our team and your key employees engaging in a “Discovery” meeting to understand your organization, history, goals, market, positioning, competitors, clients/prospects, services/products, branding, etc. We guide the meeting with our list of business and marketing questions to probe for information and gain a full understanding of the organization and the business plan.
From the information gathered, we develop and deliver to you an 8-13-page Marketing Strategy and Plan that outlines the company’s value proposition, positioning, key targets, marketing channels, the best marketing tactics (traditional and digital) and messaging to reach each targeted, market segment for each product/service. This comprehensive plan includes a variety of traditional and digital tactics, the costs plus a schedule of when to implement campaigns to achieve the desired results for the business. This document is a detailed tool to guide the company forward for the next several years.
Public Relations/Earned Media
