Start 2019 with a bang. Here’s how.

#1: Conduct a brand audit.

#2: Deeply understand your 2018 marketing results

#3: Review your KPIs

Are you monitoring the right metrics? Do they directly tie to improving your customer’s experience?

#4: Review your budget

What are your business goals for 2019? Does your 2019 marketing budget support those goals?

Who’s leading your marketing? Who’s driving strategy? Do they really know your customer? Are they passionate about your customer?

#6: Ensure your marketing and sales plans sync up
