2023 PLANNING FOR DETAILED MARKETING EXCELLENCE
Whether you're a burgeoning entrepreneur or a seasoned corporate manager, you need a detailed marketing plan! It's that simple, and a real marketing plan is not a collection of high-end strategies about "digital marketing" and "content marketing". Phrases such as those are important, but only at the 100' off the deck level. What you want right now are:
- Detailed "how to" quarterly tactical plans with analytics for the balance of the year
- Sales-focused tools: playbooks, customer-proven emails and social posting formats
- Data from easy-to-use Hubspot. where we are certified partners
