A commitment to marketing that is consistently delivered at intervals and pace matched to your market.
Baseline Rhythm
A Baseline Marketing Rhythm is a commitment to delivering your marketing activity at a frequency matched to the pace of your market. This is like a regular exercise regime.
You’ll get a sense that you’re on wobbly ground with this one if you have plans that never quite materialise, or you spot opportunities too late to have tome to really make the most of them. Often this shows up in having a yo-yo pattern to your marketing, with bursts of energy followed by periods of inactivity.

Client Example
Oyster IMS
Josef Elliott, MD of Oyster IMS (providers of information management services to complex clients), spent a year in Masterplan to make marketing the strategic focus for that year.
During the year, he involved his entire team in the marketing and describes it as one of the most transformational processes his organisation has undertaken in over ten years of running the business.
By first planning their marketing carefully, and then ensuring a more regular commitment, they’ve been able to secure high profile clients for five and six-figure projects. Much of this new work came from within their existing client base, where the more consistent activity and clearer messaging triggered new engagements.
