Build and Implement A Strategic Marketing Plan
It can be easy to get wrapped up in the daily grind of executing various marketing tactics and initiatives—especially when new tactics are available to us each and every day. In order to ensure that the marketing work we do has the best chance of delivering business results, it’s imperative to have a clear and well-thought-out marketing plan that connects strategy to our chosen initiatives. This plan is also integral to aligning any key stakeholders to the marketing objectives and communicating the true value that marketing provides to an organization.
In this virtual workshop, you will learn how to create a marketing plan that meets your business objectives, sets a clear direction for projects and garners leadership support. You’ll learn the exact steps and components needed to build a great plan, and be able to immediately write a plan of your own from scratch, or clean up and improve an existing plan. Your new plan will provide clarity for what marketing to do and in what order, as well as how you will measure your results.
