Strategic Marketing Budgeting
Most marketing budgets are incremental — last year's numbers adjusted up or down. Strategic marketing budgeting starts from objectives and works backward: what are we trying to achieve, what marketing activities will drive those outcomes, what investment does each activity require, and what's the expected return? This approach produces budgets that are defensible, aligned with strategy, and designed for ROI.
