This example is aimed at reflective planning for a start-up (in this case, a business in the toy industry) and illustrates how limited resources and early-stage growth goals can be matched with a focused digital-marketing plan. It starts with analysing the market context that a start-up faces, clarifies how digital channels can be leveraged without large budgets, and then translates that into objectives, strategies and action plans tailored to nascent brands. The example also shows how both B2B and B2C elements might apply in a start-up environment.
Ideal for start-ups, small teams or agile marketing functions, this resource helps you see how to structure your planning document in a format typically used for more mature companies, but adjusted for the constraints and speed of a start-up. It supports you in setting realistic milestones, prioritizing cost-efficient acquisition and retention tactics and building governance and measurement into your plan from the outset.

Frequently asked questions
How are your toolkits structured?
Each toolkit is designed in a similar way with templates to help you apply the Smart Insights RACE 90-day planning process using a consistent approach of:
- A. Review Opportunity (Audit and Set Objectives)
- B. Define Strategy (Identify strategic approach and priorities)
- C. Take Action (Report on performance with dashboards, apply best practices and SOPs)
Toolkits typically have an in-depth 7-Steps guide and a shorter Playbook which are downloadable PDFs which are far quicker to browse than online video courses, so you can efficiently review your strengths, weaknesses and where you need to prioritize.
Each toolkit is grounded in helping you understand the essential, need-to-know fundamentals of marketing success including strategic marketing, campaign planning, content marketing and data-driven marketing using Google Analytics.
How do I use Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in my marketing?
SOPs are your secret weapon to using a more strategic, managed approach to integrated marketing.
They are repeatable practical tasks defining how to complete a marketing activity by following a series of steps in order to achieve a consistent approach and good results by applying best practices.
SOPs form the heart of our Digital Marketing Strategy toolkit - you can audit your approach and adopt them in the Digital marketing strategy audit/health check.
It also links to relevant templates to support you across all toolkits.
We recommend building in SOPs to our RACE 90-day planning process, selecting which you will prioritize in the upcoming periods.
What the quickest way to get started to improve my results from digital marketing?
For a comprehensive audit of all of your digital marketing, we recommend using our Digital Strategy Toolkit which will help you develop a complete digital marketing strategy and a 90-day plan so you start make a difference straightaway.
Tried-and-trusted templates are available in Word, Excel and Powerpoint / Google Docs which will enable you to summarize your strategy and communicate it to colleagues or clients.
Ensure you download the Digital marketing strategy audit/health check spreadsheet to amend to your business. It also links to relevant templates to support you across all toolkits.
If you perceive that you have a weakness or opportunity in one or more of the main digital marketing channels such as SEO, Paid media, Social Media marketing or Email marketing, then you can use the 7-Step guides and playbooks in each channel toolkit to review your strategy and then the spreadsheet templates to make practical improvements to your marketing for each channel.

Currently Generative AI (GenAI) is transforming marketing, as you'll know, so we recommend the latest best practices for using tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini for strategy, planning and copywriting.
