A request isn't the same as a marketing strategy.
“Can we create a brochure?”
“Should we run an ad?”
“Can you post this on social media?”
“Do we need a new landing page?”
Before any of those become projects, the right questions need to be asked:
• What business objective does this support?
• Who needs to see it?
• What action should they take?
• Is this the best use of the budget and the team’s time?
• How does it fit with everything else already underway?
Some requests will become strong marketing projects. Others should be revised, delayed, or declined. Marketing leadership's job isn't to execute every idea. It is to determine which ideas are worth executing.
