The Problem With 50 Slides Strategy Decks

I've been a digital marketing professional for over a decade, worked in agencies in Europe, North Africa, Middle East and North America...

I’ve seen founders pay $10k+ for “marketing strategies” that come in the form of a giant deck. Beautiful slides, slick charts… and absolutely zero value.

Here’s the problem:

Strategy without practical action items is just expensive theater.

Agencies building 6 months or 1 year strategy while the market moves too fast for that pace.

What you actually need is a clear growth map, planned tests, and constant iteration.

A 5-slide roadmap you implement following your business' needs will outperform a 50-slide “vision” that overwhelms your team and sits in Google Drive collecting dust.

Curious, have you ever been burned by a strategy deck that went nowhere?
