The Executive Guide To Strategic Marketing Plans
The Executive Guide to Strategic Marketing Plans emphasizes the critical importance of marketing plans in driving business growth and competitiveness. Many executives understand market dynamics but underestimate marketing's strategic role. A marketing plan aligns outreach with business goals, formalizes ideas into actionable steps, and defines team roles and responsibilities. Despite their benefits, 32% of companies operate without one, citing lack of expertise, budget, leadership buy-in, or accountability. This oversight leads to reactive marketing and missed opportunities. The guide outlines why plans matter, how to build them, and how leadership support is essential for successful implementation and long-term growth.
