Summary

One clear brand message and a measured autumn campaign

Cobalt Outdoor Gear has a strong product line and an audience that doesn't know it yet. Brightfield Marketing will run a twelve-week engagement to sharpen the brand's positioning, build a campaign system around the autumn season, and put measurement in place so every dollar of media spend can be defended with data.

Your situation

Aiming for a 35 percent lift in qualified site traffic

The Challenge

Current marketing is channel-by-channel and campaign-by-campaign, with no unified message, inconsistent creative, and reporting that tracks activity rather than revenue contribution.

Solution Overview

Brightfield Marketing will define a positioning and messaging platform, produce a reusable campaign creative system, launch coordinated paid and owned channels for the seasonal push, and stand up reporting tied to pipeline and revenue.

Approach

Strategy locked first and tracking live before any launch

Methodology
The engagement runs in four phases: strategy and positioning, creative system production, campaign launch, and optimization. Strategy decisions are locked before production starts, and the campaign launches with measurement in place rather than retrofitted.

Template questions

What should a marketing proposal include?

Lead with the business problem and the revenue goal, then show the strategy, the creative and channel plan, the timeline, measurable targets, and pricing. Keep media spend separate from fees so the client sees both clearly.

How do I handle media budget in a marketing proposal?

Bill media spend directly to the client and keep it out of your fee. This keeps your pricing honest, avoids markup disputes, and makes it easy to scale spend without renegotiating the engagement.

Should I promise specific results in a marketing proposal?

Commit to measurable targets with a defined measurement method, not guarantees. A target band with weekly reporting builds more trust than a promised number you cannot control.

How do I scope a campaign engagement versus a retainer?

Campaigns work best as fixed-scope engagements with a clear window and a handover playbook. Retainers fit ongoing optimization after the campaign proves the channels. This template is structured for the campaign case.
