How to Build a Marketing Plan Thatโs Guaranteed to Deliver ROI
*Download our free AI-powered guide and turn this marketing math into a complete marketing plan in minutes.* ๐ https://clickhubspot.com/13aedc
Stop guessing at marketing. There's a formula that tells you exactly what to do โ and it starts with one number: your revenue target.
In this video, I sit down with Abby Murray, CEO and Co-Founder of Storyarb, who has applied this reverse-engineering marketing math to Fortune 500 companies, B2B startups, and her own businesses. She walks us through the exact equation step-by-step so you can build a marketing plan that's tied directly to real business results.
Here's what we cover:
The Sales Numbers You Need First
Before you build any marketing plan, you need three numbers from your sales team: average contract value, win rate, and sales cycle length. These are the foundation of the entire equation.
How to Reverse-Engineer Your Marketing Goals
Starting from your revenue target, you work backwards through customers โ demos โ traffic to figure out exactly what marketing needs to deliver โ no gut feelings required.
Choosing the Right Marketing Mix
Whether you're sales-led, product-led, or a mix of both determines which channels deserve your time and budget. Learn how to assign weight to channels based on what's actually worked for your business in the past.
Measuring What Matters
Set KPIs that align with your sales cycle, create real cross-team alignment, and finally have the data to justify your marketing budget to leadership.
