Digital Marketing Plan Workshop
For defining a digital marketing strategy and plan
This workshop used different templates to help you work with colleagues to quickly create an effective integrated digital marketing strategy.
In creating this workshop, our aim was to create the most comprehensive set of templates available for a full digital strategy review covering all digital channels and customer lifecycle touchpoints across the 25 key activities in the Smart Insights RACE Planning Framework.
The structure of this Marketing Plan Workshop
This workshop is structured around the Smart Insights RACE Planning Framework which covers all online marketing touchpoints which need management as part of a digital strategy.
Smart Insights RACE Planning is our framework for developing an integrated digital strategy covering the entire customer lifecycle.
There are many issues to consider when creating a digital marketing strategy.
The challenge is summarising your Opportunity, Strategy and Action points.
After you have completed the relevant analysis templates and your plan is created, go back to this page and create a one- or two-page summary of your plan that a senior executive can understand and believe in.
The same Exec summary is useful for PowerPoint presentations should you need to present the bones of your plan and ROI projections.
An important part of your role is helping others understand what digital marketing is, and the immense value that it can add to the business.
