Marketing Strategy + Planning

You Have a Business. You Need a Strategy. Let’s Build One Together.

Most businesses don’t have a marketing problem — they have a clarity problem. They’re posting, spending, and doing, but without a strategic foundation connecting it all. The 360-degree Brand & Marketing Strategy Session is a live, hands-on working session that maps your entire marketing ecosystem and hands you a clear, prioritized roadmap. One session. Real output. No fluff.

Why Strategy Comes First

Tactics Without Strategy Are Just Expensive Experiments

The most common marketing mistake small businesses make isn’t choosing the wrong channel — it’s choosing any channel before they know what they’re trying to say, who they’re trying to reach, and what a win actually looks like. Without that foundation, every marketing dollar is a gamble.

The 360-degree Brand & Marketing Strategy Mapping Session fixes that. It’s a live, collaborative working session where we assess your entire marketing ecosystem — business goals, target audiences, website performance, social media, content, advertising, SEO, graphic design, and branding — and map exactly where you are, what’s working, and what your highest-leverage next moves are.

You leave with a clear, customized roadmap. Not a vague direction or a list of suggestions — an actual strategic document that tells you what to do, in what order, and why.

Honest Qualification

Is a Brand & Marketing Strategy Session the Right Investment for Your Business?

A strategy session delivers the most value when the timing is right. Here’s an honest look at who benefits most — and who might be better served starting elsewhere.

✓ This Is For You If…

  • You’re investing in marketing (or about to) but feel like you’re guessing at channels, messaging, or priorities
  • You’ve been doing marketing for a while but aren’t sure what’s working or why
  • You’re launching a new business, product, or service and want to start with a real strategic plan rather than reactive execution
  • You have a marketing team or agency in place but lack an overarching strategy to guide their work
  • You’ve been told to “do more marketing” but nobody has defined what good actually looks like for your business

→ Consider Starting Elsewhere If…

  • You’re in pre-revenue or pre-product stage — if the business model isn’t validated yet, a marketing strategy session is premature; build the offer first
  • You already have a clear, documented marketing strategy that’s working — in that case, execution services will serve you better than another strategy engagement
  • You’re looking for someone to do the work rather than plan it — the session produces a roadmap, not ongoing execution; if you want execution, the Growth Retainer or individual service pages are the right starting point

Why LGX

What Makes LGX the Right Team for Your Brand & Marketing Strategy?

We Assess Everything Before We Recommend Anything

A lot of strategy sessions jump straight to recommendations without understanding your full picture first. LGX maps your entire marketing ecosystem before offering a single prioritized action — website, social, SEO, content, brand, and advertising all in one session.

We Give You a Real Deliverable, Not Just a Conversation

You leave the session with a written, prioritized strategic roadmap — not just notes from a meeting. The document is specific to your business, actionable from day one, and designed to anchor every marketing decision you make going forward.

Strategy Is the Foundation, Not an Afterthought

At LGX, strategy isn’t a preliminary step we rush through before the “real work” — it is the real work. Every service we offer downstream (SEO, content, web, social, ads) performs better when it’s built on a clear strategic foundation. The session is where that foundation gets built.

We’ve Done This Across Many Business Types

LGX has run strategy sessions for businesses in professional services, healthcare, home services, food & beverage, nonprofits, and more. That cross-industry experience means we bring pattern recognition to your session — we’ve seen what works, what wastes budget, and what’s typically missing.

What Do People Ask Before Booking a Strategy Session With LGX?

The session reviews your entire marketing ecosystem — business goals, target audiences, website performance, social media presence, content strategy, advertising activity, SEO standing, graphic design, and overall brand positioning. Nothing is siloed. We look at how all the pieces connect (or don’t) and map what needs to happen first, second, and third to move the needle.

The session itself typically runs 90 minutes to 2 hours, conducted live with your team. Following the session, LGX delivers a written strategic roadmap document — not just notes, but a real prioritized plan with specific recommendations, context for each decision, and logical next steps. Most clients receive this within a week of the session.

The On-Demand Marketing Power Hour ($350) is designed for businesses that have a specific question, problem, or decision they need expert input on right now. It’s focused and fast. The 360-degree session ($450) is a full ecosystem assessment — it’s appropriate when you want to step back and look at everything, not just one area. If you’re not sure which fits, the discovery call will clarify that quickly.

We’ll send a brief pre-session questionnaire to gather basic information — your business goals, current marketing activity, and what you’re hoping to get out of the session. The more honest and complete your answers are, the more useful the session will be. You don’t need to pull reports or compile data — just come ready to talk openly about your business.

Yes — and it’s one of the most common paths. Many clients use the 360-degree session to build the strategic foundation, then move into an Ongoing Growth Retainer or Marketing & Sales Strategy Partnership to execute against the roadmap month over month. The session deliverable becomes the starting point for the retainer scope.

Sessions are led by a senior LGX strategist — not a junior account manager or intake coordinator. The person facilitating the session is someone with direct experience building and executing marketing strategies for businesses like yours.

Stop Guessing. Start Executing.

The 360-degree session is the fastest way to go from scattered to strategic. One focused conversation with the right people produces a roadmap you can act on immediately — without months of planning or expensive ongoing commitments. Let’s get your strategy straight.
