So, what’s our Snapchat Strategy?

The impression I get from working with brands, organizations, and agencies—a mix of young upstarts, midcareer professionals, and top-level executives—is that success in digital marketing is a fast-moving target. Even as a single strategy hits the mark, a new tech development rewrites the rules and forces even the savviest marketer to start from scratch. Past successes no longer ensure future ones. Leaders complain that they need to adapt faster, and they simply don’t know how. The digital disruption has caused a knowledge gap.

Knowing everything about marketing is next to impossible

Arriving at ROI is possible, albeit with challenges of its own

ROI is an equation, not a theoretical concept

ROI =gain from investment - cost of investment

cost of investmentx 100

Regardless of Your Career Level If you lack an understanding of business mechanics and applicability of marketing

metrics get it. It is the most significant change a marketer can make to increase future value.

Strategy is where you start

Moving Forward

1. Stop focusing on the shiny objects, and don’t allow the rest of the organization to dissuade you

2. Broaden your view of what marketing means and focus on the relationship your organization has with your customers

3. As a team, craft a marketing strategy that directly relates to your business’ goals and includes ROI measurement

4. Identify gaps preventing accurate ROI measurement and make the case for corrective measures (systems, people and process)

5. Surround yourself with smart, capable people that can help you achieve the goals your organization demands

If you have clear business goals, and based on those goals have a

clear, measurable marketing strategy to work from then

everything else falls into place.
