Strategic Marketing Audit

A whole-of-business marketing readiness audit

Our Strategic Marketing Audit involves assessing the overall marketing capability and readiness of the business. The audit provides key recommendations relating to achieving current business priorities as well as improving the longer-term performance of the business.

Rather than assessing the detailed performance of each individual marketing channel or tactics (like we would in an specific audit for a website, email marketing, etc), the Strategic Marketing Audit works at a higher level, evaluating the factors that contribute to a high-performance marketing function.

4 reasons to get a strategic marketing audit?

It's not uncommon for businesses to want to jump straight into tactics - let's launch a new campaign, rebuild our website, start advertising, develop a targeted outreach program... When these decisions lack the insights and strategy to support them, such actions often performing poorly - or worse yet, can't be properly measured.

If your business does not already have a robust marketing process in place - that puts analysis and strategy before tactics, then a strategic marketing audit could be for you. Here are three main benefits of such an audit:

 

Clarity of goals

The audit takes a high-level look at your past, present and future. In doing so, it unlocks insights that often help clarify whether your current goals and plans are robust or whether they need refinement or rethinking.

Capability and effectiveness

The audit also assesses your ability to deliver and measure these goals and the tactical activities associated with them. It gives insight into how effective you are and how you might improve this.

Spend time to get time

The biggest barrier to an audit is because the business wants to act quickly and don't believe they can afford to slow things down for an audit. Whatever the reason, whilst the audit requires the business to dedicate some time to it - usually 1 to 2 weeks - the time you get back is significantly greater, in terms of making the right decision, ensuring you are adequately resourced and are able to implement effectively.

It also helps set you up for a more robust strategic planning process in the future - directing resources to where they can make the greatest marketing impact for the business.

Test out Brucey

For first time clients to Brucey, a strategic marketing audit is also a great way to test if we're a good fit. You get great insight into how we work across all our services, with a fixed investment and you get significant value from the recommendations and action plan that result - so even if you don't want to continue with us, you have a highly actionable document you can implement on your own or with another agency.

Industrial businesses need robust marketing strategy more than most

The average industrial business tends to lag behind other sectors when it comes to marketing capability. Subsequently marketing is less impactful, out of sync with sales, and marketing effectiveness is often not able to be measured well.

In an increasingly complex and digitised world, it is more important than ever for businesses to understand their market, structure a strong brand position and develop a strategy for success.
