This document discusses marketing strategy versus tactics and outlines the "marketing equation" for creating effective marketing campaigns. The equation is Interrupt + Engage + Educate + Offer = Results. Tactics like advertisements are not a substitute for an overall marketing strategy that identifies the target audience and desired outcome. Following the four steps of the equation helps create marketing that gets people's attention and moves them to take the desired action. An effective strategy promotes unique benefits for customers rather than just focusing on the business.
