Here is a 7 sentence marketing plan for Okanagan Woman magazine:
1. Okanagan Woman magazine targets busy professional women in the Okanagan region.
2. These women are always on the go and need inspiration for balancing work, family, and lifestyle.
3. Okanagan Woman is a glossy quarterly magazine focused on local stories, recipes, fashion, and events.
4. The magazine provides an escape for readers looking to learn about what's happening in their community and gain ideas for their personal and professional lives.
5. Unlike other local publications that are monthly or weekly, Okanagan Woman is a curated quarterly guide specifically for Okanagan women.

6. The Cluetrain Manifesto
Cluetrain.com went live April 1999
Written by Chris Locke, Doc Searls,
David Weinberger and Rick Levine
They felt that a powerful global
conversation had begun
And that through the internet people
were discovering and inventing new
ways to share relevant knowledge with
blinding speed.

7. The Cluetrains Key Points
Markets are conversations.
Markets are networks of people.
Markets make buying decisions by talking
amongst each other.
Companies are networks of people.
Companies should use a human voice
instead of corporate-speak.

8. What the Cluetrain Manifesto
Means for Marketers:
People talk.
The conversation will go on with or without you.
Markets demand transparency, authenticity and
trust.
Join your community.
The masses are greater than mass media.

9. 10 Years Later...
The Open Brand was written by Kelly Mooney
and Dr. Nita Rollins in 2008
The book is about the power shift from
brands to consumers and how marketers
need to behave differently
The lessons of The Cluetrain Manifesto are
still being learned

@BoxcarMarketing
10. The Open Brands Key Points
Theres been a relationship shift in the way consumers
relate to products: before, during and after a purchase
consumers are engaging with each other through blogs,
peer-reviews and other interactive ways.
Consumers are taking control over the messages that
brands once controlled.
For brands to survive this relationship shift they must
engage with consumers within consumers
communities.
