Marketing is a fascinating and fast paced industry. As marketers, brand managers and SME owners we are always consuming content that will help us sharpen our tools, hone our skills and reach our goals.
Sometimes an article here and a blog post there, though adding lots of value, can seem disjointed. As your marketing support arm Nucleus Vision gives you information in digestible snippets, as a way to respect your time-schedule, but certain elements can be pieced together to make a mega-post.
No matter where you are in the game, a seasoned professional or just jumping it brushing up on your basics can never hurt. The simplest questions are sometimes the ones that are overlooked, so if you were in a classroom, could you answer this: what are the elements of a marketing strategy?
Tougher than you think. Especially because being a part of this dynamic and ever-changing industry means that there is not one perfect strategy and we have to use our knowledge about the industry, society as a whole and our brand specifically to design a tailor-made solution that fits the goals for our company and our team. But, looking at the bigger picture, there are few basic elements we can agree on, and Nucleus Vision has touched on most of them already.
