FAQs
Questions worth asking before you start
What does a marketing strategy include?
Depending on the job, Firebrand may work to clarify the commercial job, understand the audience, choose the priorities and build the operating plan. The exact deliverables, formats, responsibilities and limits are agreed in scope.
How long should it cover?
The useful horizon depends on how quickly the market, organisation and evidence are likely to change. A strategy should look far enough ahead to guide investment while remaining specific enough to run. Firebrand can pair the longer direction with a shorter action and review cycle.
Do we need research first?
It's always amazing to have it, but not essential. The answer depends on the decision and the strength of the evidence already available. Firebrand reviews existing research, behaviour and organisational knowledge first, then recommends new research only where it could materially change the choice.
How is the strategy measured?
We're going to start with your goals to define measurement. We monitor indicators that can guide action, not simply fill a report. Firebrand agrees the evidence, method and limitations before presenting the result as proof.
Can support include ongoing improvements?
Yes, where it is part of the agreement. Planned improvement should have its own priorities rather than competing with urgent fixes.
