‘Strategy First’ Timeline: 60-90 Days from Kickoff Call

A structured questionnaire that helps us understand your business, goals, audience, and current marketing activities before we begin the strategy process.

We review your response and marketing material to understand the current process, align on business priorities, & outline the Strategy First direction.

We present key insights, including Marketing & Brand Audit, Ideal Client Personas, & Core Messaging, to validate findings and refine the strategic direction.

We present the complete Strategy First plan, outlining strategic priorities, messaging, systems & an execution roadmap to guide your marketing over the coming months.

We analyse your current marketing activities, brand positioning, and messaging to identify gaps between business goals, brand perception, and how your marketing is currently performing.
We will review your current marketing to get a baseline and to identify opportunities.


We map your competitive landscape. We’ll study your biggest competitors and create high-level summaries and a report on their marketing strengths and weaknesses.
We review your industry environment to identify key trends, threats, opportunities, and shifts that could affect your marketing, so your strategy stays aligned with the broader market context.

Based on the analysis on all fronts, we will recommend a core marketing message that will allow you to stand out from the competition.
