Turn your goals into a clear, actionable marketing strategy that drives results.
Just like how a load board maps out all of the freight that needs to be moved, your marketing strategy identifies areas for growth. Depending on your goals, there are infinite possibilities for effectively communicating with your audience. Once you understand your audience, you’ll need to start creating content to engage them. Creative campaign concepts can be part of your larger content strategy, or be utilized as part of a specific promotional effort like a new product launch or event.
A great creative concept can be extended across multiple channels and platforms for a fully integrated experience, but we’ll keep your needs and resources in mind and deliver concepts that can be delivered within your timeline and on budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a marketing strategy if I'm already running campaigns?
Your campaigns are actually part of your overall marketing strategy, even if you haven't formalized it. Drop & Hook can assist in defining your marketing strategy based on your current marketing efforts and combine it with your goals for growth.
How long does it take to build a marketing strategy?
Generally, we have a six to eight-week discovery project to begin. A great creative concept can be extended across multiple channels and platforms for a fully integrated experience, but we’ll keep your needs and resources in mind and deliver concepts that can be delivered within your timeline and on budget.
Will you implement the strategy as well?
We offer a variety of services that you can add on that fit your marketing strategy. Whether you're looking for social media content, email marketing, paid media services, or anything in between, we are ready to help.
How do you measure success in a marketing strategy?
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are developed with the marketing strategy based on the goals you want to achieve. We can analyze your current metrics for a benchmark to compare with the results of the updated marketing strategy.
What makes your approach different?
With our proven industry experience, we are able to "speak your language." You don't have to explain 3PLs or the difference between local drivers and OTR drivers. We can streamline the process by meeting you where you are and growing and developing your strategy from there.
How often should a marketing strategy be updated?
Marketing strategies can be updated as frequently as you need to. Sometimes strategies no longer work or resources change, and that's the perfect time to update your strategy. If you contract with Drop & Hook, we can re-evaluate your strategy when it is time to renew your contract. However, if there is an immediate reason to change your strategy before then, we will discuss options.
