A marketing plan makes concrete how you'll reach your goals over a given period — which channels, messages and activities are prioritized, and when. It differs from strategy by being operational and time-bound, rather than overarching and long-term.

## What does a marketing plan include?
A marketing plan describes goals, target audience, messaging, channel choices, activities and a timeline for a given period, often a quarter or year. It's derived from the strategy but breaks it down into concrete activities with ownership, budget and follow-up points, so the team knows exactly what to do and when.

## What a marketing plan should include
- Clear goals tied to the business, not just activity
- Target audience and prioritized customer segments
- Channel choices and messaging per stage of the journey
- Timeline with ownership and budget per activity
- Follow-up points and KPIs to measure against

## The difference from a marketing strategy
The strategy answers why and where you're heading, while the plan answers what should be done, by whom and when. Many companies have a good strategy but lack a plan that makes it tangible day-to-day — that's usually where execution stalls.

The strategy is the overarching, long-term direction, while the plan breaks the strategy down into concrete activities, timeline and ownership for a given period.

Most companies review and adjust their plan quarterly, while the underlying strategy stays fixed for longer.
