Building a Digital Marketing Plan for the Year Ahead

A plan does not need to be long. It needs to be clear enough that everyone knows what to do and how success will be measured.

Start with business goals

Turn revenue or growth targets into marketing goals such as qualified leads per month, store visits or online sales.

Know your audience

Describe who buys from you, what they worry about and where they spend time online. This shapes every channel decision.

Choose channels and budget

• Always-on: SEO, social media and content.
• Growth: Google and Meta campaigns.
• Retention: WhatsApp, SMS and email.

Measure and review

Set up tracking before spending and review monthly. A plan that adapts to data beats a perfect plan that never changes.
