What Is a Marketing Audit?

A marketing audit is a thorough examination of a company's marketing efforts, to identify areas of strength and weakness, opportunities for improvement, and potential threats to the company's marketing efforts.

The audit process allows a company to stay informed about changes in the market, customer preferences, and the effectiveness of its marketing efforts, so that it can make necessary adjustments to its marketing strategy.

The audit will cover all aspects of the company's brand and marketing strategy, from research, review, measurement, governance and summary.

With a marketing audit, your company will have a clear understanding of where it stands, and how it can improve its marketing efforts to achieve its business goals.
