Proposed Assignment Structure:
Cover Page
Executive Summary - Limited to one page, this succinctly encapsulates each section of your plan. The aim is to provide readers with a fundamental understanding of all plan components, facilitating their comprehension of the plan as a whole.
Table of Contents - Inclusive of all sections and sub-sections, this should also encompass the list of figures and tables.
Introduction
Main Body - Comprising the following stages:
a. Objectives
You are tasked with establishing two SMART objectives, derived from either:
Your situational analysis, or
The company's annual report or its website.
Strategy
This phase requires an assessment of current strategies linked to the SMART objectives you've just formulated. A marketing strategy serves as a broad directional statement outlining how marketing objectives will be achieved. Within our marketing plan, these strategies provide an initial overview of various marketing tools and their application in accomplishing the marketing objectives. Use the Ansoff Matrix as your marketing strategic framework in this section.
Tactics
Tactics encompass the specific elements of the marketing mix (7P's) that you intend to employ to attain the objectives outlined in your marketing plan. This section delves into the granular details of implementing the strategy step by step. To support the achievement of the objectives, apply the 7P's of the marketing mix to emphasise key attributes to be addressed by Company X. Additionally, include internal marketing in this section to illustrate how this marketing plan can be promoted within the organisation.
Action
The action section outlines what must be accomplished for each tactic listed in the preceding section of the SOSTAC plan to actualise the objectives of your marketing plan. Use a Gantt Chart to help explain the actions as part of the strategy and tactics.
Control
The final stage is to outline how you plan to monitor and measure your performance based on the objectives set at stage 2. The tactics have been considered, and your control section is providing you with a series of dashboards tailored for each tactic. Set KPIs per tactic that tie back into the objectives set and establish a weekly/monthly set of monitoring dashboards to ensure you are on track to meet the objectives set.
