Develop a digital marketing plan

Digital marketing plan - executive summary

Guide

The executive summary of your digital marketing plan should provide a short synopsis of your entire digital marketing strategy. It should include highlights from each section of the rest of the document.

The role of the executive summary is to provide enough detail to interest busy senior executives and encourage them to buy into the digital marketing plan and how it can benefit the business.

It should be concise - ideally a page in length - easy to understand, and interesting without using hype. It's advisable to write this section of your plan after you have completed the rest.

The summary should outline the following:

  • your business environment
  • the key issues that have emerged from your situation analysis
  • the key objectives of your digital marketing plan
  • the strategies and tactics to be used
  • the projected outcomes and expected return on investment
