Explore the problem

Pick what sounds like you. See where strategy starts.

Every marketing problem runs through four layers: your customer, your position, your choices and how you execute. Choose one to see the layers it touches and the right first step.

  1. Start by finding out. Two weeks to a clear view of where your marketing stands and what to fix first, across your channels, with your top priorities in order.

  2. This runs through Choices and Execution: what you measure, how the budget is split, and whether tracking reaches real sales.

  3. This sits in Customer and Position: who buys, why they buy and what you should stand for to them.

  4. Positioning work: what you stand for, against whom, and an offer that's clearly yours. It's usually why ads get seen but not clicked.

  5. A plan for what happens after the first sale: why people would return, what you offer them, and counting repeat customers properly.
