Why does my business need a FREE Marketing Audit with Rebus Creative?

The trading environment doesn’t stay the same. What may have worked during 2024 may not work as we move into 2025. 

There are a number of factors that could affect the trading environment, and your marketing actions will require adjustments so you can adapt to them.

  • Changes in technology or the digital landscape such as (Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), and Virtual Reality (VR) could demand a shift in marketing tactics. 
  • New legislation, regulation or other industry challenges may affect your compliance.
  • A rise in competitors could affect your client base and changes in competitor strategies may require a shift in focus to make sure you maintain a competitive advantage
  • Changes in audience behaviour such as new channels, purchasing patterns or how they interact with your company could affect sales.
  • New platform or channels may offer new opportunities to market your products to a new or wider audience.
  • International events can influence trading, e.g. the war in Ukraine affected the supply chain and increased transport costs.
  • Social issues or cultural trends such as sustainability have influenced customer behaviours and preferences.
  • Global events such as the pandemic can affect the way you do business, requiring agility to pivot, adapt quickly or even rethink how you market your business.
  • Industry trends can affect how your products are perceived in the market place.

Companies need to be agile in order to adapt to changing circumstances, and a marketing audit is critical to your company’s ability to stay competitive, meet the needs of your target audience, achieve your business goals, and grow.

What does a FREE Marketing Audit with Rebus Creative involve?

During the FREE Marketing Audit, we will discover whether there have been changes in your business since your last marketing audit. 

We will analyse the results generated by your current marketing activities and whether they are effective by examining:

  • Marketing strategy
  • Brand consistency
  • Competitor benchmarking
  • Performance analysis

We will guide you on what changes should be made to improve and streamline your marketing activities against your business goals for the year ahead, providing you with actionable steps to build a strong marketing plan.

Marketing strategy review

We’ll take a deep dive into your current marketing activities, assessing campaigns, platforms, and tactics, questioning whether they delivered on your business goals. 

  • Are your efforts targeting the right audience? Who are your customer personas? 
  • Are you using the right channels to engage potential customers? Which channels do they prefer? Could some channels be maximised and others disregarded?
  • Are your marketing goals still relevant? Have your objectives changed?
  • Are your marketing goals measurable and aligned with your business goals?

We’ll identify what worked and what didn’t, moving forward, we’ll show you how you can optimise your activities to deliver better outcomes.

Check your brand consistency

Your brand is the foundation of your company’s identity. It needs to:

  • Be recognisable
  • Build trust
  • Foster loyalty

Inconsistent messaging dilutes the effectiveness of your brand in a crowded marketplace. 

The Rebus Creative team will examine all touchpoints including your website, social media, emails and advertising, testing the customer journey to evaluate the relevance of your messaging and the customer experience. 

Effective messaging needs to be consistent and aligned with your brand values, customer needs and business goals. 

We will assess whether your content and messaging are resonating with your target audience and building brand engagement and loyalty. 

Competitor benchmarking

You have to know who your competitors are, and their strengths and weaknesses, in order to differentiate your company and its products/services in order to stay one step ahead.

As part of the Rebus Creative FREE Marketing Audit, we’ll provide insights into competitor performance by examining their marketing strategies and tactics. 

We’ll see how you compare and show you what is required to uniquely position your brand in the market.

Performance analysis

Are your marketing efforts delivering measurable results? We’ll review key performance indicators (KPIs) such as:

  • Social media engagement
  • Customer feedback, e.g. reviews and surveys to understand their pain points
  • Web traffic to conversion rates
  • Lead generation
  • ROI

By comparing the results with targets, our analysis will highlight strengths and weaknesses, uncovering gaps where adjustments are required to maximise the effectiveness of your marketing efforts.

Customised Marketing Strategy for Your Business Growth in 2025

Based on our findings, we’ll deliver actionable steps to improve performance, customised for your business. From refining your target audience to exploring new growth opportunities, we may recommend changing tactics, channels or strategies to deliver on your business objectives.
