The decision
Bring scattered marketing activity into one coherent plan.
A business may be active across several channels and still lack a clear basis for deciding where effort and budget should go.
We examine the commercial objective, priority audiences, existing activity, available evidence and practical constraints before recommending the route to market.
The final plan records the priorities, channel roles, implementation order and measurement approach so the business and its chosen suppliers are working from the same decisions.
- Is the brand clear but too few of the right people being reached?
- Are channel choices based on habit rather than evidence?
- Is activity difficult to prioritise or measure?
- Does your team or agency need an executable brief?
What you receive
A documented route to market, built for the business to use.
We connect the commercial objective to audience priorities, channel choices, implementation and measurement.
Segmentation & targeting
Who to prioritise and the message required for each priority audience.
Channel plan & 7Ps
Channel choices based on evidence, audience fit and commercial relevance.
Measurement framework
How to recognise what is working, what to improve and what to stop.
Scope
The plan starts from a clear brand and a defined commercial objective.
The starting fee applies to one brand and one primary market with a settled proposition. The strategy includes the segmentation and targeting needed for the plan; a deeper standalone segmentation engagement is recommended where audience choice is itself unresolved. Multiple markets, product portfolios, detailed channel programmes or additional research are quoted separately.
Included
- Review of the brand strategy, proposition and current activity
- Commercial objectives and audience prioritisation
- Channel planning and the relevant 7Ps
- A documented measurement framework and prioritised implementation sequence
Outside scope
- Daily campaign management
- Detailed campaign plans, content calendars, media buying or creative production
- Ongoing channel or agency execution
- Repairing an unresolved brand or positioning foundation unless separately scoped
- A standalone deep competitor review or segmentation engagement where those are the primary unresolved decisions
Process
The route to market is built from the evidence, commercial objective and available resources.

Common questions
Marketing Strategy, answered.
What does the Marketing Strategy cover?
The Marketing Strategy sets SMART objectives, segmentation, the marketing mix and channel planning with measurement, documented as an executable plan. We build it from a written brief so your marketing has a clear direction and a way to tell whether it is working. It starts from £1,500 and is scoped to your engagement.
Why is the price shown as from £1,500?
The Marketing Strategy is bespoke, so the fee depends on the scope of your objectives, audience and activity. The £1,500 figure is a genuine starting point; the final fee is quoted after a written brief and agreed with you first. No VAT is added, as we are not VAT registered.
Do you run the marketing for me?
No. The Marketing Strategy is the plan and the blueprint, not execution. We document the objectives, audience, channels and measurement for you or your chosen team to deliver; we do not run campaigns, ads or day-to-day activity.
