08 / QUESTIONS ABOUT MARKETING STRATEGY

Questions about
marketing planning.

What does a marketing strategy include?

The scope depends on the decision you need to make. It can include audience research, positioning, channel priorities, a content plan and measurement. We agree on the required deliverables before the work begins.

Can you work with our existing marketing plan?

Yes. We can review what you already have, identify missing evidence and help revise the priorities. Useful work does not need to be discarded just because the direction changes.

Do we need a new website before planning our marketing?

Planning can come first. It helps establish what the website needs to achieve, which pages matter and how the website connects with your other marketing activity.

Can you help a business that serves both local and national customers?

Yes. We can distinguish the needs of each audience and plan the content, channels and service information around the places you actually serve.
