FAQs About the
Integrated Marketing Approach

What is Marketing Strategy?

Marketing strategy encompasses all of the emotional/behavioral concepts marketers use to drive awareness, engagement, and consideration of a brand or product. It includes the process of organizing varying types of marketing concepts into a single unified marketing doctrine meant to achieve a specific brand objective.

What if the Marketing Strategy isn’t Working?

It’s important to note that shaping buyer sentiment isn’t guaranteed to happen quickly. Iterative changes to a marketing strategy are extremely common and our process includes a wide range of discovery and collaborative planning and implementation so you get buy-in at every stage of the process. That said, if something’s not working, we want to know why and make changes as soon as possible. Doing that can require additional qualitative and quantitative research and work. Our commitment is to continue to better our understanding of your products, buyers, and public perception to give your product the best chance possible of success.

What does a marketing strategy look like?

Marketing strategy has many core concepts and the way that an individual marketer or marketing team chooses to define them depends largely on the specific use case and their unique approach and philosophy. Since strategy is part of Catalyst’s proposal process, we typically use a short visual presentation to get aligned in the early stages and follow it up with a written synopsis and scope of work as part of our proposal process.

What Defines Catalysts' Unique Approach?

Our agency supports organizations who want to leverage the same and maintain a small marketing footprint; typically startups, sales-driven organizations, nonprofits, etc. Therefore, our approach focuses on end-to-end services that are typically leveraged with enterprise companies.

Why do I need a Marketing Strategy?

A well-defined marketing strategy provides a framework for understanding the unique challenge that a brand is trying to help buyers overcome. It builds consensus around their solution, process for attaining the desired results, and a way to measure their success. Not building a defined marketing strategy can be extremely costly, both in opportunity cost and through inefficient use of resources.

Do you offer standalone marketing strategy consulting?

There are many capable marketing agencies who offer standalone consulting and we’d be happy to make a referral to one if needed. At Catalyst however, we’re laser-focused on bridging the marketing gap for our fast-growing clients. That’s why our solution focuses on the development of internal marketing strategy and other capabilities. At the early stages of your journey, that support is built into our managed services offering. Later on, it becomes part of our offboarding process but is not offered apart from larger engagements.
