How our digital strategy team gets results

A powerful digital marketing strategy is the backbone of any successful marketing campaign.

Without a clear strategy, how can you plan your approach to marketing and measure its success effectively? At Impression, our digital strategy consulting and services ensure that your business objectives are at the heart of your digital plan, turning them into actionable, strategic and tactical KPIs that drive results.

Our digital marketing strategy services go beyond basic planning. Using a blend of first-party data and third-party insights, we identify key hypotheses to test during your marketing activation. This approach guarantees that your strategy is both informed and adaptable, maximising your marketing impact and delivering measurable success.

Our approach to digital marketing strategy

We help businesses like yours reach their objectives using a multi-channel approach that ties your channels together. As your trusted digital strategy agency partner, it’s our job to identify the biggest opportunities to maximise results.

Our approach to digital marketing strategy is based on rich data and insight – and all the recommendations we make are measurable, with a clearly defined testing methodology. We work with you to ensure that all your channels work as one, creating a path to your desired business outcomes.

 

Objective setting

We begin with a discovery phase to truly understand your business, what it is you are trying to achieve and what challenges you face. From here, we use our years of experience and specialist knowledge to determine an objective framework that aligns with your business objectives and will ultimately drive the desired results.

Insights

Using a mixture of third-party and first-party data sources, we build a rich picture of your market conditions and competitor landscape, as well as your target audience and their behaviours. This enables us to formulate data-led recommendations, all tied to the objective framework.

Strategic recommendations

Our recommendations turn into actionable, measurable hypotheses detailed into a strategic media plan. Each channel is aligned with specific KPIs that support your overall business objectives. Setting the strategic direction of your online activity forms the core of our digital marketing strategy services.

Execution

Our strategic approach doesn’t end there. Future plans are built from the learnings of past activity. We’re involved every step of the journey, ensuring your media plans are executed flawlessly. Following the creation of the finalised media plans and forecasts, our digital strategy consultants ensure your strategy is effectively deployed across each channel and is successfully delivering on all KPIs.

Evaluation

With all of our digital marketing strategy services, we provide bespoke measurement and business intelligence reporting services, meaning all investments can be tracked and reported on in real time. This is the core of the collaborative evaluation period we undertake with each of your channel teams, which positions us perfectly to utilise every learning in the next cycle of planning, evolving our insight-led approach.

Strategy vs tactics

The difference between digital strategies and digital tactics is an important distinction in our work.

At Impression, we don’t just execute tactics—we design comprehensive digital strategies that align with your business objectives. Our expert team considers every external and internal factor that could likely affect your website’s performance, ensuring your marketing efforts drive real results.  Creating an effective digital marketing strategy requires thoughtful consideration of how multiple marketing channels can be integrated to support overall progress towards shared business goals. We create a unified strategy that keeps your business moving forward.

Partner with us, and we’ll work closely with your senior marketers and key stakeholders to help shape an integrated digital strategy that is focused on getting you the results you need. We will establish your goals at the earliest possible opportunity to ensure that the strategy moves your business in the right direction.

Working with a digital strategy agency

When you partner with a leading digital strategy agency like Impression, you gain more than just expertise–you benefit from our ability to communicate our plans clearly to all stakeholders, helping you get buy-in from all areas of the business.

In addition, we’ll work with your in-house teams to ensure that work complements their efforts and fits into your processes as seamlessly as possible. By understanding the requirements of your team, we ensure that our work is implemented quickly across all channels. Integration with you is just as important to us as the integration between our own services.

Beyond this, we can formalise any strategy work into a more tangible plan for your team to execute, or we can take the reins and implement it for you. From SEO and paid media, to digital PR, content marketing, analytics, reporting and CRO, we offer comprehensive multi-channel digital marketing services to help your business thrive.

Introducing Growth Dynamics

Impression’s proprietary strategic framework is designed to chart the course for sustainable business growth.

We believe that the fastest route to business growth does not come from rules of thumb, or impulsively following trends. We believe that to deliver genuine business results, we need to respond to the specific dynamics of your brand, your category and your customers.

We call this Growth Dynamics. It’s our proprietary methodology for identifying and prioritising strategic opportunities within your digital marketing strategy. It simplifies how we interrogate and interpret data to help us prioritise our marketing efforts to make the most impact and achieve your business goals.

It defines the two key drivers of business growth – Demand (how many people are in the market for what you’re selling) and Availability (how well your brand shows up at the point of need) – and quantifies them into measurable data points. Once quantified and measured, Demand and Availability scores are mapped onto a Dynamics quadrant to identify the focus areas where marketing efforts can drive the most impact.

As a strategic digital agency, we leverage Growth Dynamics to optimise your brand’s digital presence, ensuring every marketing effort is aligned with your overarching business goals.
