In today’s episode, Izzy discusses the importance of a marketing plan with Amanda Hudswell at Equatorial Launch Australia. 

A marketing plan provides a blueprint for your communication activities, maximizes your efforts by targeting the most important audiences, and determines the marketing activities that resonate with them. A plan transforms dreams into reality by establishing the steps necessary for an idea to come to fruition and it provides clarity for action for the entire company and its team.
