The Austin Focus Turns Attention to Plans for 2016

January is right around the corner. However, for the team at The Austin Focus, there are no worries or frantic planning. In fact, the interactive marketing firm's managers have been developing next year's strategy for months.

“We’ve been thinking about 2016 since January 1, 2015,” cited Kati, The Austin Focus’ director of operations. “We have continually been reviewing and analyzing reports that have helped us understand our goals for the upcoming year.”

According to Kati, The Austin Focus managers started to forecast next year’s goals in earnest beginning in October. “We looked at our performance for the past 12 months,” she explained. “We highlighted trends. We reviewed our current strategy to see what was effective and what was ineffective in terms of positive outcomes for the brands we represent. Finally, we aligned this information with upcoming trends that could have an impact on our future success.”

"We're looking to hire professionals who are driven by results,"

With that information, Kati explained that during the final months of the year, the managers are able to forecast what the firm will need to deliver adequate service and attain results. “We look at all aspects of our business plan,” she shared. “For example, do we have enough human resources to properly serve brands? Do we have the right technology in place to optimize our results? These details can have an astounding impact on our ability to accomplish goals.”

Perhaps most importantly, Kati stated that the team continually monitors and tracks progress throughout the year. “Things can change,” she said. “It’s vital to stay on top of it and make adjustments where needed. There is no excuse for being surprised at your year-end results come December.”
