06.05Strategy & audits

Decide where the money goes before it goes.

A strategy is a set of choices about where to compete, what to spend and what to expect — written down, with the reasoning. We audit everything you are doing, model what the market allows, and hand you a plan you can run with us or without us.

The problem

Tactics without a strategy is just spending

Ads because a rep called, a new site because the old one looked dated, social because it seemed necessary — most marketing accumulates rather than gets decided. The audit that asks 'what is each dollar producing, and what would produce more?' usually pays for itself in the first reallocation.

Questions

Strategy & Marketing Audits, answered.

What does a marketing audit include?
Every channel and account you run, what it costs, what it produces and how it is tracked; your site's technical and conversion health; brand and messaging consistency; competitor activity; and the gaps between what you spend and what the market rewards.
Do I have to hire you to execute?
No. The strategy is written so an in-house team, a franchisor's vendors or another agency can run it. Many clients do have us execute, but the document stands on its own.
Do you work with franchises and multi-location businesses?
Yes — playbooks that balance national brand control with local execution, per-location budgets and reporting, and templates that scale across markets.
How long does it take?
Two to four weeks from access to presentation, depending on the number of channels and locations.
