Who it's for
This is for you if…
- Launch
You're launching into a new market or segment, and the plan lives in a slide deck no one follows.
- Messaging
Sales, marketing, and leadership each describe what you sell a different way.
- Focus
You're active on too many channels, and none of them is clearly working.
What we do
Everything a launch needs to land.
ICP and segmentation
We define the accounts and buyers worth pursuing first, and the ones to skip.
- ICP and segment profiles, with the disqualifiers written down
- Buying committee roles, triggers, and objections per segment
- A priority account list your sales team can work from
Positioning and messaging
We write the story your website, sales team, and campaigns will all tell.
- Positioning statement and messaging framework
- Value propositions and proof points per segment
- Competitive alternatives, and how you answer each one
Channel mix
We pick the few channels that fit your buyers and budget, and say no to the rest.
- Channel plan with budget ranges and expected role per channel
- The channels we are not using, and why
- Content and campaign requirements each channel implies
Launch plan
We build a 90-day calendar with owners, dates, and dependencies.
- 90-day launch calendar, with an owner and a date on every item
- Dependencies and sequencing, so nothing waits on a surprise
- A soft-launch window to test messages before the full spend
Sales enablement
We give sales the decks, one-pagers, and talk tracks to match the new message.
- Pitch deck and one-pagers in the new message
- Talk tracks, discovery questions, and objection handling
- Email and sequence templates for the priority list
Measurement
We set KPI targets by funnel stage so you know early what's working.
- KPI targets by funnel stage, with a baseline for each
- Tracking and reporting requirements, agreed before launch
- A monthly review cadence against those numbers

How is this different from the 30-Day Diagnostic?
Digital Strategy builds the plan for one launch, market, or segment. The Diagnostic tells you where marketing stands across the whole business and what to fix first. Both are about $5,000; start with the Diagnostic if you are not sure where the problem is, and with Digital Strategy if you already know what you are launching.
What's included in a go-to-market strategy?
A defined ICP and segments, positioning and messaging, a channel plan with budget ranges, a 90-day launch calendar with owners, KPI targets by funnel stage, and sales enablement. It's written to be run, not filed: every item has an owner and a date.
How long does it take?
Most GTM strategies take 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to final plan, depending on how many segments and products are in scope. We can soft-launch the first plays before the full plan is final, so momentum starts early.
Will you also execute the plan?
If you want us to. Some teams run the plan in-house with a fractional CMO overseeing it. Others add Growth Marketing or Full-Service Execution so the same team that built the plan runs it.
Do you have experience in our industry?
We've built go-to-market plans for IT staffing, cybersecurity, equipment finance, and ecommerce companies, among others. The method is the same in every industry: research the market, pick the plays that fit, and measure against pipeline.
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
Spend 30 minutes with a CMO. You'll leave with a clear read on what's working, what isn't, and what we'd do first, whether or not we work together.
