Digital Strategy Consulting

Digital marketing has changed the way businesses behave and sell themselves. The focus is on being more disruptive, smarter, innovative and quicker than everything else.

Our digital strategy consultants help small and medium sized businesses differentiate themselves from the herd.

Why digital marketing strategy?

If you want to crash the competition you must create an effective digital marketing strategy that will set you apart. There is only two ways to go about it.

In the event that you decide to go for the first option (which is okay), then you must have premium tools. You’ll need the know how and processes to plan the sequences ahead.

How and Where can I find out more about digital strategy and its planning?

Planning and strategy go hand-in-hand. These are parts of the business that you can tackle yourself. Although, I recommend you to hire a digital marketing consultant to set the tone and guide you through the whole process.

Try SOSTAC® by PR Smith – S.O.S.T.A.C stands for :

Situation Analysis (meaning where are we now?)
Objectives (state and log where do we want to go next?)
Strategy (simply draw – how do we get there?)
Tactics (these are the details of your strategy including the marketing mix & comms mix.)
Action (these come from the details of tactics – who does what , when & processes & systems)
Control (this is your dashboard with specific metrics to keep an eye at all times)

A digital strategist consultant must be able to perform an audit providing you with clear and detailed information to address the business issues/problems.

Who needs a digital marketing strategy?

Answer: Every single online business.

Why you should (first) perform a digital strategy audit?

We believe that every serious business needs to run a self digital business assessment/audit.

Note: Unless you’re one man band starting your business you won’t be needing it.

The following people should or need to perform an audit at least twice a year:

• 1. Business owners – want to increase traffic and brand reputation
  2. CEO’s – need to know the ROI based on multiple content marketing strategy campaigns
  3. Entrepreneurs or Startups – are looking to find and/or identify new market opportunities
  4. CMO’s – will research, analyse market and direct competition whilst creating new strategies.

Put it this way – from the moment you and/or your people publish content online, it will be old by the end of that day.

How can digital strategy help you?

How to implement a digital strategy?
