How Strategic Priorities Work
Categories of Strategic Priorities
Strategic Priorities are evergreen elements of a business’ marketing strategy that are addressed by the marketing plan.
Categories include:
- Objectives – planned measurable outcomes of marketing efforts
- Target Segments – subgroups of the businesses’ target audience
- Journey Phases – segments of the customer’s progressive experience with a business’ brand or offering, during which a decision is made or an action is taken
- Custom – use as you see fit for: regions, business units, product categories, key messages, content pillars, etc.
Once you have Strategic Priorities set up in your Plan, you can tag Tactics to them. Then, when you select that a Strategic Priority as a Filter everything else drops out of the calendar except for the Tactics tagged. This gives you a cross channel view so you can assess coverage.
