Clarify Your Marketing
Know what to do next and why.
When you're busy running a business, marketing can quickly become a mix of good ideas, half-finished plans and things you feel like you need to be doing. You might be posting when you remember, trying a paid ad or updating your website occasionally. But without a clear strategic marketing direction, it can be hard to know what's actually making a difference.
A strategic marketing approach helps you decide what to do now, what can wait and where to invest your time and budget. It keeps you focused on the people who need what you have to offer and the marketing activities most likely to help you achieve your goals. Whether you need quick advice or a complete marketing strategy, Christchurch-based C i Marketing is here to help.

Common questions
A strategy is your roadmap. It sets out who you're talking to, what you want to achieve and which marketing activities will get you there, so you can decide what to do now, what can wait and where to put your time and budget. Without one, marketing tends to become a mix of good ideas, half finished plans and posting when you remember, and it's hard to tell what's making a difference.
It depends on the piece. A Marketing Sanity Check is a focused one hour meeting with practical advice and a recommended next step. A Marketing Audit is an independent review of your current marketing with recommendations. A Discovery Workshop ends with a professionally presented marketing strategy document covering brand positioning, competitive advantage, audience insights and content direction. The 12 Month Calendar Marketing Plan turns that into a practical roadmap of activities, timing and priorities. The Complete Marketing Strategy combines the workshop, audit and calendar plan.
A Sanity Check is one hour, in person or online. A Complete Marketing Strategy is typically a three month project from first chat to delivery, depending on how quickly you can give us input and feedback. For audits and workshops we confirm the timeline when we quote, before any work starts.
Marketing Sanity Check from $300 + GST. Marketing Activity Audit from $600 + GST. Strategic Discovery Workshop from $3,000 + GST. 12 Month Calendar Marketing Plan from $2,700 + GST. Complete Marketing Strategy from $5,900 + GST. All prices exclude GST and are in NZD, and we quote before any work begins.
Start where it makes sense. Many businesses begin with a Sanity Check or a Discovery Workshop and grow into a full plan or ongoing support (quarterly check-ins, monthly sanity checks or an annual review) from there. If a one hour Sanity Check is the right place to start, we'll tell you.
You can run it in house, or we can help with the design, imagery, advertising and content it calls for, and measure what's working through reviews, insights and analytics so the plan keeps moving.
