How can you determine the answer if you don't understand the question? For the creative work to be a success, there must be a fundamental understanding of the market conditions, internal challenges and consumer issues that affect your brand. This stage can be as thorough as a full research initiative, or as simple as informal investigation into your market and a solid brief. Strategic planning is not about long strategy documents or meaningless adjectives. It is about definable ambitions, goals, offerings, and benefits.
