Do this slide at the end. Here you just
summarize the findings of the whole
plan.

4. Positioning

5. Goals
Describe the goals of your marketing effort. Are you chasing awareness? Sales? Subscriber growth? How
will you measure success?

6. Key internal concept
Often a campaign boils down to an internal concept that can't be communicated directly to the users, but
that helps guide the marketing efforts. An example could be "Focus on x and y as strengths and limit
exposure to the weak z". This would guide your efforts, but it's rarely something that you will say in
public.

7. Brand truth
What is the core value that is always represented by the product/brand? What is the emotional aspect
that will most resonate with the audience? What does the brand stand for?

8. Challenges
What are the difficulties that you already know you are going to face? What are the weaknesses of your
product/brand and of your message?

9. Main copy guidelines
Don't write the copy here. Rather enumerate the guidelines that the copywriters will need to follow. How
does the product/brand speak? What does the copy need to accomplish?

10. Target
Who is this for? What age groups? What tribes?
Who are the personas you wish to target?

11. Targeting considerations
Based on what data and on what considerations have you chosen this or that target?

12. Research

13. Sales/Box Office/Conversion results
What are the past performance of the product? What is the performance of similar, comparable
products? Show with a chart the comparison. Use $ as a metric for the first research slides.

14. Internet metrics
Lots of data is freely available on the Internet: facebook likes, instagram followers, YouTube views.
Which of these would be relevant for the product/brand? Show them with one or more graphs.

15. Google Trends
Google Trends is a great free research tool that you can use to track your product over time and compare
it to competitors. Show the most relevant graphs. One graph per slide.

16. Competition

17. Key competitors
Explain who the competitors are and what their positioning is.

18. Positioning relative to competitors
Further elaborate your positioning relative to the competitors. How will your positioning help you
distinguish from them? Why should the consumer choose your product instead of the competition?

19. Campaign Strategy

20. Timeline
Visually show the timeline of the campaign. Are there multiple beats? Are you teasing and revealing in
different moments? Do all media deliver the message at the same time?

21. Media Partnerships
Is it important to partner with a specific media to deliver your message to the target? What does this
media partner look like? What could you activate together?

22. Media recommendations
What media and channels should you use? Will this be an all digital campaign? Or does it make sense to
invest in Outdoor or TV advertising? Are you using programmatic buying options or dealing with media
vendors? Is this a brief for the media agency? Or do you already have in mind the vendors and channels
that you wish to use?

23. Social paid media
Social media will play an important role in this template. In the meantime do you plan on investing in paid
social? With what objectives? When in the timeline of the campaign will this happen?

27. Partner art
Will you partner with third party companies (food, games, retailers)? What kind of artwork will they be
able to use?

28. Messaging
Think beyond the main copy: will you have a call to action? Do you need to acknowledge partners? What
would be the best way for your messaging to align with the overall goals of the campaign?

29. Social strategy

30. Social goals
If you're running a social media campaign, what are the goals you wish to achieve?

31. Social strategy
What is the specific strategy that will help you achieve your social media goals?

32. Social tone of voice
How do you intend to communicate on social? What will your personality sound like? What is the tone of
voice of the communication? Will it vary channel by channel?

33. Social community
Community management is a big part of social media marketing. What is the attitude of your fans
towards your brand? What do you need to address? How will you delight them?
