STRATEGIC ROADMAP™
Strategy without strings
Expert strategy, built for your business—not our bottom line.
The Strategic Roadmap™
This 30+ page personalized content strategy system is designed exclusively to help Experts like you achieve your goals.
At the end of the process, you will have — for perhaps the first time ever — a clear vision and direction for where you want to go and what you need to do to get there.
Strategy precedes action
Goals without action are empty dreams. Action without strategy is wasted energy.
We believe individual actions (Social media, content creation, website creation, etc) should not be executed without first defining a strategy. And the strategy should be informed by specific goals and positioning.
Therefore, we start every engagement by working with you to understand your goals and ideal positioning in your market space. The results of that exercise then drive our strategic recommendations and service actions.
The Contents
Your goals and objectives will be clearly articulated and mapped into actionable tasks with 30+ pages of research and recommendations.
Your STRATEGIC ROADMAP will include:
3-5 Key Recommendations providing clear, customized strategies with detailed guidance on implementation.
Case Studies & Market Insights showcasing successful strategies from comparable businesses and/or professionals with key takeaways relevant to your growth.
Actionable Tactics outlining the specific steps needed to execute your strategy effectively.
Content System Framework delivering a phased approach to creating, publishing, and promoting content that strengthens your brand.
Staffing & Resource Recommendations identifying the roles, hires, or external partnerships needed for successful execution.
Time Commitment estimating the time required from your team to implement each recommendation.
Estimated Costs breaking down projected expenses associated with each recommendation to support informed decision-making.
(Many clients say this is the first time they’ve ever had a grasp on what they actually need to do, and when and how they need to do it.)
The Process
From Discovery to Delivery:
Two 1.5-2 hour Discovery Sessions
Follow-up calls and meetings as needed to clarify points uncovered during discovery

IS OUR STRATEGIC ROADMAP™ RIGHT FOR YOU?
Before diving deeper, let’s ensure the Strategic Roadmap™ is the right fit for you.
You Value the Journey.
Success isn’t just about where you’re going—it’s about understanding the steps that got you here. We work best with leaders who appreciate the process, embrace collaboration, and check their ego at the door.
You Have Real Expertise.
If you’re a legitimate expert struggling with imposter syndrome, we can help. If you’re a self-proclaimed “guru” without meaningful experience, we’re not the right fit.
You Invest in Strategy to Avoid Wasted Effort.
Marketing without strategy is far more expensive. The real cost isn’t in the roadmap—it’s in misaligned execution. We’ve seen businesses waste massive budgets on disjointed marketing efforts simply because they didn’t start with a plan. The Strategic Roadmap ensures every dollar you spend is intentional, focused, and aligned with your goals.
You Have the Foundation to Execute.
While we typically align best with businesses generating $250,000+ in annual revenue, solopreneurs below this threshold who are serious about strategic growth have also found immense value in the roadmap.
Are you ready to start your journey?

you might be thinking
Deciding who to trust with your marketing strategy isn’t easy. If you’re considering working with Heritage Brands, you may have a few questions or hesitations. That’s completely normal—smart leaders ask the tough questions. Here are a few things we often hear, along with how we approach them.
We understand this concern. A strategy that never gets implemented doesn’t create results. That’s why our roadmap is built to be fully executable, regardless of who implements it. Many agencies create strategies that serve their own service offerings. We don’t. Every recommendation is designed with one goal: what’s best for your business.
Not necessarily. If you have an internal team, the roadmap will guide them. If you need external execution, we help you find the right specialists for your needs, not just whoever happens to be on our payroll. And because we start with strategy, you’ll always know what needs to be done—no guesswork, no wasted effort.
Our job isn’t to keep you dependent on us—it’s to give you clarity and direction so you can move forward with confidence. Long-term success doesn’t come from signing a long-term contract—it comes from having a strategic foundation that aligns marketing with business goals. That’s what we provide.
Yes, but there’s a key difference—our roadmap stands on its own. You can take it and execute it however you choose. There’s no hidden funnel to force you into additional work with us. The roadmap is designed to be a blueprint for your success, not a sales pitch for our services.
Marketing without strategy is far more expensive. The real cost isn’t in the roadmap—it’s in misaligned execution. We’ve seen businesses waste massive budgets on disjointed marketing efforts simply because they didn’t start with a plan. The Strategic Roadmap ensures that every dollar you spend is intentional, focused, and aligned with your goals.
Bottom Line – We’re here to give you the best strategy for your business or personal growth—without strings, pressure, or commitments you don’t need. That’s what makes the Strategic Roadmap different.
