What Is a Brand
Strategy, Really?
A marketing strategy is a carefully crafted plan that outlines how your business will reach its target audience and convert them into loyal customers. It’s the roadmap that connects your brand to your audience, ensuring every effort is purposeful and effective.A great marketing strategy answers these key questions:
Who is your target audience?
(Demographics, behaviours, preferences)What are your goals?
(Brand awareness, lead generation, sales)How will you achieve them?
(Channels, messaging, campaigns)
It’s not about throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks—it’s about making informed decisions that maximise your ROI.

Frequently Asked Questions
A marketing strategy is a comprehensive plan that outlines how your business will promote its products or services to the right audience. It defines your goals, identifies your target market, and determines the best channels and tactics to reach them. A marketing strategy ensures that all your efforts are aligned, effective, and measurable.
A marketing strategy is essential because:
- It provides clarity and focus for your campaigns.
- Ensures all efforts are aligned with your business goals.
- Helps you reach the right audience with the right message.
- Maximises ROI by focusing resources on the most effective tactics.
Without a clear strategy, businesses often waste time and money on disconnected or ineffective marketing activities.
A strong marketing strategy includes:
- Target Audience:
Understanding who your customers are and their needs. - Value Proposition:
Defining what makes your product or service unique. - Goals and KPIs:
Setting measurable objectives for success. - Channels and Tactics:
Selecting platforms like social media, email, or PPC ads. - Budget and Timeline:
Allocating resources effectively and planning execution.
Every business benefits from a marketing strategy, whether you’re:
- A startup looking to make a splash in the market.
- A small business aiming to increase local awareness.
- A large enterprise seeking to optimise multi-channel campaigns. A well-thought-out strategy helps businesses of all sizes achieve their goals more effectively.
To create a marketing strategy:
- Define your business goals.
- Research your target audience and competitors
- Craft a unique value proposition.
- Choose the most effective channels and tactics.
- Implement, monitor, and optimise your campaigns. Partnering with a marketing agency like LastClick ensures a data-driven and successful approach.
A marketing strategy outlines the "why" and "what" behind your efforts—it’s the big-picture approach. A marketing plan, on the other hand, is the "how"—it includes the detailed steps, schedules, and tactics to execute the strategy.
Common pitfalls include:
- Lack of research: Skipping audience or competitor analysis.
- Unclear goals: Without specific objectives, it’s impossible to measure success.
- Over-reliance on one channel: Diversify to avoid missed opportunities.
- Inconsistency: Disconnected messaging can confuse your audience.
You can track the success of your strategy using key performance indicators (KPIs), such as:
- Website traffic and engagement.
- Lead generation and conversion rates.
- Diversify to avoid missed opportunities.
- Return on investment (ROI) for campaigns.
- Customer retention and satisfaction rates. Regular monitoring helps identify what’s working and where improvements are needed.
Marketing strategies should be reviewed and updated regularly—typically once or twice a year—to reflect changing market trends, customer needs, and business goals. However, if your industry moves quickly, more frequent adjustments may be necessary.
The cost of a marketing strategy depends on your business size, goals, and the scope of the campaigns. While some businesses create strategies in-house, working with an experienced agency like LastClick ensures a professional, data-driven approach.
