FAQ

Questions people ask.

Why do I need a strategy if I already have a marketing plan?

A plan is a list of things to do. A strategy is the reason for choosing those things over others. Most marketing plans are just calendars, which is why they don't build on each other. We build the foundation first.

How is this different from brand strategy?

Brand strategy is who you are. Marketing strategy is how you get customers. They overlap, and we often do both, but they answer different questions.

Will the strategy be specific?

Very. Real numbers, real timelines, real budgets, real owners. Not "increase awareness" but "spend $12K a month on these three audiences with these five ads."

Can we start with strategy and add execution later?

Yes, that's how most clients begin. The Sprint stands on its own. From there you can run it in-house, hand it to another agency, or have us run it.

How involved is the founder?

Sharod leads every Strategy Sprint personally: interviews, synthesis, and the final presentation. For ongoing work you'll have a senior strategist with founder oversight at key points.

What if the market changes?

That's what quarterly refreshes are for. A strategy is a best guess we test, measure, and adjust.
