Your Digital Marketing Plan
1. Put SWOT together - this sets the scene – what's controllable (Internal – Strengths & Weaknesses) and uncontrollable (External –
Opportunities & Threats), should also point to customer opportunities – un met needs, changing behaviour etc. that will provide the
opportunity to justify this digital marketing plan.
2. Identified from the SWOT who is the target market we need to go after and will respond to our offer ? In-depth knowledge of the customer is
critical here. You need to know more than your competitors. Understanding their media habits and technological capability is key for Digital
Marketing to be effective. Focuses Strategy
3. Goals and Objectives: what does the business need to achieve and what can consumers/clients contribute to that – buy, hit, post, develop,
refer and more, this will drive strategy.
4. Digital Strategy: what’s the big plan ? Driven to move consumers, we need to know what is doable, what consumers are inspired by, where
are the consumers in terms of awareness, interest desire or action with your product/service what their media behaviour is, and the key
goals of the organisation – move stock, $, hits, brand awareness etc. This will help understand the budget we need and how we will achieve
our goals. Strategy guides and integrates tactics
5. Tactical / Digital tools: what is the portfolio of tools that will deliver on your objectives, which ones are usable and affordable/resourceable,
what timing and integration
6. Budget: Zero base – clean sheet - what will it cost to achieve these results
7. Evaluation: Comparing your SMART objectives with actual results and the results (live) of the tools you are using. Each tool should contribute
to your target market goals, if not drop it.

Which tools for your TM ?
Marketing your Digital Marketing plan
• Who are the stakeholders
• What information do your stakeholders want
• How do they want to get it
• How can you get their buy-in
• Internal and external presentations, yammer, forums, blogs,
roadshows, incentives, post-it notes on the back of toilet
doors.
• Use hardcopy, intranet, extranet, video, podcast and chalk art
in the hallways !
© Liberated Vision 2015 - www.liberatedvision.com.au
Budget – Zero Base
• Best to explore all options rather than accept 10% of the off-line
budget !
• Develop a plan to achieve the goals and then cost it, make it palatable
and get sign off.
• Digital allows live results and metrics, monitor your spend and move
it quickly if its not giving you results
• Develop a project plan (maybe MS Project or Smartsheet) to monitor
and report on progress with great reports.
• Match budget to your goals and tactics so there are no surprises.
