You’re launching a brand (congratulations!)—but before anything else, you need to establish a marketing roadmap. Having a foundation—a blueprint—for all to come and all you want to build is key. Spoiler alert: This blueprint will become your guide and point of reference beyond your brand’s launch. To create one, you don’t need fancy programs, excel sheets, or even PowerPoint.
The phrase “marketing plan” gets intimidating or overwhelming for some. It’s really not. Just open up a Google Doc, and start by creating a bulleted list of everything you want your brand to be and what you want to accomplish in terms of marketing—keeping in mind that true marketing campaigns are more than just advertisements. Not sure where to start?
