Where does your marketing sit?
Your answers will place your marketing into one of four profiles. None is inherently good or bad. They simply show what needs to happen next.

The Firefighter
Marketing happens when something needs fixing.
There may be plenty of good ideas and occasional bursts of activity, but little holding everything together.
The opportunity: Put a simple strategy underneath it.

The Sprinter
Marketing is happening, but in bursts.
There's energy and effort going in. The challenge is creating enough consistency to build momentum and learn what really works.
The opportunity: Turn activity into a sustainable marketing rhythm.

The Builder
The foundations are in place.
Marketing has structure and consistency. Now it's about measurement, focus and putting more behind the things that genuinely contribute to the business.
The opportunity: Double down on what pays back.

The Strategist
Marketing is working as a business function.
Strategy, activity and measurement are connected. The next constraint is likely to be senior capacity and keeping marketing aligned with the next stage of growth.
The opportunity: Turn a good marketing engine into a growth engine.
