Each client relationship is unique and begins with an opportunity-assessment meeting (can be by conference call, but a meeting is preferred). MDU then prepares and presents a Marketing SOSEM* Planning Brief (usually 4-6 pages). If the client decides to proceed, any previously agreed upon planning cost is credited to the deal.

*Situation, Objectives, Strategy, Execution/Tactics/Budget, Measurement
