Five takeaways from the 2nd edition of 'Marketing Strategy' that might surprise you 👇
1. Strategy isn’t about doing more
It’s about making clearer choices on what NOT to do. Focus is often the missing piece.
2. Your internal environment matters just as much as the market
Capabilities, processes, and resource all shape what’s realistically achievable.
3. Personas aren’t enough on their own
Understanding behaviours, motivations, and context is where real insight comes from.
4. Frameworks are only useful if you apply them properly
Tools like PESTLE or SWOT aren’t tick-box exercise. They’re there to guide better thinking.
5. Strategy should be iterative, not fixed
It’s not something you set once and revisit annually. It should evolve as your environment changes.
