Since the triumphant advance of the Internet, the ground-rules for long-term marketing and communication strategies have also changed fundamentally. What is the point of expensive, long-running, classical off-line communication campaigns if large chunks of business are currently migrating to the Internet?
Nowadays, the goal of strategic planning involves anticipating the increasing complexity and dynamics of the market and converting this into appropriate marketing and communication strategies which work optimally on-line and off-line, hand in hand.
A significant objective of strategic planning is to incorporate new technologies and new products - as well as ever faster changing consumer behaviour - into the mix as early as possible. From these developments, both opportunities and risks can be identified, which the company can then use and/or avoid accordingly. Based on a fundamental analysis, new markets and new product developments can be identified and strategies developed, promising success for the future. As a rule, the focus is on brand value, brand strategy, brand building and brand control.
Strategic planning thereby draws on different disciplines, such as market research, opinion surveys, motivational studies, media and trend research, etc.
