Annual Planning for 2024

As a growth consultancy, we’re experts in strategic planning and ongoing execution. It’s the most important thing we do for our clients–and for ourselves. And it starts months in advance. Although there’s no one way to do annual planning, there are core frameworks that we use year after year to set companies up for success. 

Whether you want to elevate your marketing, increase sales, update your brand, or streamline your tech stack, you can’t afford to miss this opportunity to learn how Red Caffeine approaches annual planning for growth. 

On October 19th, we’ve invited a few of our own thought leaders to share the virtual stage. Join Kathy Steele, Amy Anderson, Christiana Henry, and Bill Skowronski for a special Business as “Un”usual livestream roundtable about 2024 annual planning.

Spend an hour with us and walk away with the resources you need to start your own annual planning process. Or, partner with Red Caffeine to guide you through your annual planning and tactical execution. 

Session Takeaways

  • Discover the annual planning process we use–from writing a guiding statement to scheduling daily tactics for the next 12 months.
  • Get the 8 questions Red Caffeine uses to guide annual planning.
  • Understand who should be involved in annual planning (and when).
