Marketing managers often face the challenge of quantifying the value of marketing programs while their teams struggle to determine which digital tools and techniques to implement. This is usually because they lack the methodology to develop a Digital Marketing Roadmap. The Roadmap serves as an evolving blueprint that describes and measures marketing programs so that you can align resources to improve results and position for the future.
The Digital Marketing Roadmap sets priorities based on your company situation, customers, and competitors. We apply the P.A.C.E. framework to grow your revenue while leveraging the latest digital marketing best practices to create competitive advantage. Our cross-functional team assesses your needs and opportunities from business, marketing, and technical perspectives.

What are the Activities and Deliverables
from a Digital Marketing Roadmap?
During this engagement, your team participates in reviews, interviews, and workshops to define customer personas
and the buying cycle. We bring research data to each workshop and add value to what you already know. The final deliverable is a report
that documents your Digital Marketing Roadmap
positioning, the buyer experience, and other key information.

How Does the Digital Marketing Roadmap Work?
A Digital Marketing Roadmap can take from one to two months. This is a highly-customized engagement; we don’t use ‘canned’ content. We develop workshop content and deliverables based on information specific to your situation. We follow the P.A.C.E. methodology (Promote, Analyze, Convert, Engage) to ensure that recommendations directly address your business goals.
The Right Issues
Preliminary industry research, workshop, and interviews focus on your company’s strategic objectives. We also conduct a P.A.C.E. audit of your current digital marketing practices to identify weaknesses and opportunities.
