Marketing is the lifeblood of any business, but a common mistake is to rush to ‘doing’ without ‘thinking’. This morning is all about writing a marketing plan.
We follow the SOSTAC® framework from PR Smith, which has proved itself time and time again – and is taught by the professional marketing institutes.
We start with situation analysis: where are you and your business at the moment?
We then move on to objectives: where would you like to be?
To get there, we need to have a strategy: a broad understanding of how to move ahead.
It’s then appropriate to move on to tactics: a detailed plan to get from A to B.
Whether carried out in-house or by an agency, clear actions need to be set out.
Finally, we need control to make sure that we meet our objectives – and what to do if we miss them.
The key theme is how to create value as a business and communicate this to customers.
