33 Days to 2025—Is Your Marketing Strategy Ready?

As we count down the last 33 days of 2024, it’s time to ask: Have you started planning your strategy and budget for the new year?

Now is the perfect time to set the groundwork, but be mindful—over 60% of marketing projects struggle to reach their goals. Why? Factors like unclear objectives, weak project management, and lack of oversight are common obstacles.

In fact, studies reveal that only about 30% of projects reach the finish line on time and within budget, which can lead to wasted resources.?

But don’t let these numbers hold you back.

Here are five actionable steps to help you start 2025 on solid footing and avoid common marketing pitfalls:

1. Invest Time in Planning: Clearly defined goals are the cornerstone of success. Map out your objectives and break them down into achievable steps to keep your team aligned and focused.
2. Foster Cross-Department Alignment: Ensure your sales, marketing, and customer service teams share a unified vision. This synergy strengthens the customer journey and supports your broader goals.
3. Streamline Processes for Efficiency: Research shows that effective workflows improve the chances of hitting targets by as much as 40%. Structured, consistent processes keep your team organized and tasks manageable.
4. Prioritize Consistent Communication: Regular, transparent communication—internally and with customers—builds trust and reduces misunderstandings. Aim for clear, steady messaging across channels.
5. Focus on Productivity: Empower your team with the right tools and resources and foster an environment that maximizes time and effort. Strong support systems enable peak performance.
