# The Modern Marketer’s Guide to Developing Growth Strategies

[Marketing Strategy](https://blog.hellostepchange.com/blog/topic/marketing-strategy)

Marketing has changed. It used to be a distinct element of an organisation with a simple focus: getting goods and services from concept to customer.

But the world has changed, and so too must the way we view marketing.

As silos crumble around us and the world becomes more connected, integrated, and seamless, it’s becoming harder to see where one thing ends and another begins.

Which is why marketing needs a rethink.

And that rethink starts with a new definition.

>  
> 
> Simply put, marketing is where your business meets the market. \[[**Click to Tweet**](https://ctt.ec/k5gTc)\]

 

It’s the top-line section of your business strategy. It’s sales, customer service, supply chain, and advertising. It’s digital, physical, and metaphysical. It’s the net result of every experience people have with your organisation.

And when we zoom back and view marketing with a new lens, we need to revisit the tools we use to create effective marketing strategies.

 

### **Introducing *Growth Strategies: A Marketing Toolkit for the Modern World***

We recently held a breakfast to launch *Growth Strategies:* *A Marketing Toolkit for the Modern World*.

![Growth strategy Book mockup (1).png](https://blog.hellostepchange.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BLOG/Posts/1-Strategy/Growth%20strategy%20Book%20mockup%20(1).png?width=412&name=Growth%20strategy%20Book%20mockup%20(1).png)

**Fill out the form below for a comprehensive overview of the toolkit. **

 

It’s the culmination of working with over 100 clients — across every ATO tax category from fertility to funeral homes — each year.

We’ve synthesised the best frameworks, models and tools — and developed some of our own — to create a marketing toolkit that will give your business the competitive edge needed to succeed in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world.

So what’s involved?

Here’s a brief overview of the ten building blocks that comprise Growth Strategies.

 

### **1. Start with Why**

It’s been proven that purpose-led organisations outperform their competitors. With a clear unifying purpose, your team and your stakeholders have a clear focus to rally behind and your customers have more than something to buy — they have something to buy into.

**Recommended reading:** [![How Organisational Purpose Will Make You Outperform Your Competitors](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2337212/1fb90021-181a-4540-915a-d72014549e28.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2337212/1fb90021-181a-4540-915a-d72014549e28)

 

### **2. Know Your Market**

One of the biggest mistakes that businesses make is trying to speak to too many people. In an increasingly competitive environment, understanding your market and your customers is more important than ever. Taking the time to do a deep dive into both gives you the necessary insights to deliver real differentiated value that your customers *actually* care about.

**Recommended reading: [![How to Achieve Product/Market Fit](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2337212/56d50bd0-2076-4f51-b14a-84fdc5596f2f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2337212/56d50bd0-2076-4f51-b14a-84fdc5596f2f)**

 

### **3. Present Your Value**

It’s not how good you are; it’s how good you appear to your customers. You may have the best product around, but if you aren’t communicating your value clearly, succinctly, and persuasively, be prepared to get lost in the noise.

**Recommended reading: [![The Advanced Guide to Brand Positioning](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2337212/935f8ced-dfe7-4bb6-a212-572122b4eeac.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2337212/935f8ced-dfe7-4bb6-a212-572122b4eeac)**

 

### **4. Get Focused**

Time and time again, businesses try and do too much and end up getting nowhere. Strategy is about choices, and by identifying the top opportunities and challenges upon which to focus, you can more effectively leverage your limited resources for maximum results.

**Recommended reading:****[![The Death of the SWOT Analysis and the Rise of the Strategic Radar](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2337212/a97459ca-1c1d-4ad7-8191-d70839ec1243.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2337212/a97459ca-1c1d-4ad7-8191-d70839ec1243)**

 

### **5. Check Your Foundations**

In the quest for innovation and pursuit of the next big thing, it’s easy to forget about the fundamentals. But without strong foundations, no amount of innovation will save you. Fixing the foundations by taking a look at your customer journey — from the way customers find out about you to the way your customers are asked for referrals or reviews — often yields the biggest returns because, after all, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

 

### **6. Establish Your Digital Fundamentals**

As the lines between physical and digital become increasingly blurred, the importance of optimising your digital presence is greater than ever. Your customers’ lives are not neatly split between physical and digital; rather they’re a seamless whole. The more effectively you capitalise on that, the more successful you’ll be.

**Recommended reading:****[![What CMOs Need to Know about Digital Marketing](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2337212/0520396f-5ef9-4f17-bb7a-ada5a7629716.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2337212/0520396f-5ef9-4f17-bb7a-ada5a7629716)**

 

### **7. Identify Your Customer Experience Multiplier**

Word of mouth has long been one of the most effective forms of marketing, and nowadays the scale of reach has increased ten fold. Deliver a remarkable customer experience, known as lightning strikes, and make it easy for your customers to talk about you and reap the rewards.

**Recommended reading: [![6 Things You Should Be Doing to Engage Your Customers (But Probably Aren’t)](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2337212/b28023eb-13ba-4f25-b8f9-88352dd39dc7.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2337212/b28023eb-13ba-4f25-b8f9-88352dd39dc7)**

 

### **8. Find Your Step Change **

To paraphrase Jack Welch, if you’re not innovating faster than the market, you’re losing. And in a time of constant change and evolution, staying still is a recipe for disaster. The pressure is on to continually be growing, developing, and looking for ways to improve on previous performance.

**Recommended reading: [![Unpacking Innovation: How You Can Be an Innovator](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2337212/0642b32f-5709-4302-8e7d-05d94a108e5e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2337212/0642b32f-5709-4302-8e7d-05d94a108e5e)**

 

### **9. Define Your Strategy**

It’s all well and good to launch a series of growth initiatives, but unless they’re part of a coherent strategy, you aren’t realising the full value. Taking the time to focus, make the tough choices, and crystallise a clearly defined and understood strategy ensures that your growth initiatives work together to achieve your core objectives.

**Recommended reading:****[![The 3 Absolute Essentials of Good Strategy](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2337212/57b1ea78-427f-4c54-a8ce-a6c4c8c36255.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2337212/57b1ea78-427f-4c54-a8ce-a6c4c8c36255)**

 

### **10. Get Moving **

The real value of any strategy lies in its execution. An average strategy well executed is better than a great strategy that sits in a bottom drawer. But the true value comes from a great strategy well executed. But no strategy survives its first engagement with reality, so move quickly, be agile, and develop safe-fail tests where required.
