9 Steps in a Strategy First Engagement

Initial Discovery Meeting

During this meeting, we’ll learn about your business, your current marketing efforts, as well as your future goals and objectives.

Online Presence

We take an in-depth look into your total online presence, including your website, social media and Search Engine Optimization to pinpoint where improvements can be made to boost your visibility.

Competitive Landscape

We’ll study your biggest competitors and create high-level summaries and a report on their marketing strengths and weaknesses to create comparisons on how you can stand out.

Core Message and Ideal Client Persona Development

Let us have a chat with your current clients to discover your most effective competitive advantages. This will also allow for a different perspective on your business. You will receive access to interview summaries, ideal client profiles, and our recommendation for a core marketing message that will attract the right clients.

Check-In Meeting

We’ll regroup to discuss our findings and present your core messaging. This ensures we’re on the right track and aligned with your vision.

Based on our research, we’ll build a content strategy using our “hub” pages approach that will allow you to map out 3-6 months of content — keeping your marketing efforts consistent and effective.

Customer Journey Map

Using our proprietary Marketing Hourglass system, we will help you create a roadmap of suggested marketing tactics for each phase of the customer buying journey: know, like, trust, try, buy, repeat, and refer.

Priority Growth Recommendations

From our research and an audit of your existing marketing and online presence, we’ll recommend the highest-impact activities you need to consider fixing or implementing today.
