In this Webie MarketEdge Series entry, we explore applying the SOSTAC model to digital marketing, website design, and IT solutions — empowering brands to grow strategically.
Doing marketing without knowing SOSTAC? You’re missing the blueprint for scalable growth.
In today’s digital age, where every marketing campaign needs a clear direction, sporadic efforts across platforms are no longer sufficient. Businesses require a comprehensive digital marketing strategy, equipped with tools and systems that ensure real results. That’s where the SOSTAC model in Digital Marketing comes in — a strategic framework that bridges planning and execution.
What is SOSTAC, and why is it crucial for Digital Marketing?
SOSTAC is a six-stage planning model developed by PR Smith, widely adopted in strategic marketing:
- S – Situation: Where are we now?
- O – Objectives: Where do we want to go?
- S – Strategy: How do we get there?
- T – Tactics: What exactly do we do?
- A – Action: Who does what, and when?
- C – Control: How do we measure performance?
Unlike a static SWOT analysis, SOSTAC goes beyond theory into clear implementation. It’s ideal for businesses seeking a practical and result-oriented digital marketing planning system.
Implementing the SOSTAC model in a full-stack digital marketing strategy
1. Situation – Analyze your current position
Before any execution, a business must understand its market position:
- Where is website traffic coming from?
- How effective are your Google and Facebook Ads?
- What are your email open and click-through rates?
- Are customer journeys being tracked via a CRM?
- Are your event experiences digitalized?
At Webie Vietnam, we provide in-depth digital diagnostics through:
- Comprehensive SEO audits and performance-focused website design
- Social listening, cross-platform Paid Ads reporting
- Integrated CRM solutions to capture customer behavior
- Data insights from Smart Check-in, Digital Invitations, and Live Voting tools
2. Objectives – Set SMART goals
Digital goals must be measurable and time-bound. For example:
- Increase organic traffic by 30% within 90 days
- Generate at least 200 qualified leads/month via Paid Ads
- Achieve a 40% open rate from automated email campaigns
- Enhance event experience with Smart Check-in solutions
Webie Vietnam not only helps you set clear KPIs but also provides platforms like Google Analytics, CRM dashboards, and email automation to help you track and achieve these targets effectively.
3. Strategy – Build an integrated multi-channel strategy
Digital strategy must unify various marketing components:
- Content tailored to each stage of the conversion funnel (ToFu – MoFu – BoFu)
- SEO combined with SEM and Social Media for reach and conversion
- Email marketing personalized by CRM-segmented audiences
- Websites acting as high-converting hubs
- Events fully digitized — from invitation to live engagement
At Webie Vietnam, we deliver end-to-end digital marketing services, including SEO, SEM, Google Ads, and Social Media, integrated with conversion-focused website design and robust CRM solutions. Our approach ensures your marketing ecosystem functions as a unified, growth-oriented machine.
4. Tactics – Implement clear, channel-specific tactics
Every tactic must directly support the strategy:
- SEO: Improve load speed, create high-quality content, and build authority backlinks
- Paid Ads: A/B testing, retargeting, funnel segmentation
- Social Media: Scheduled content, short-form video, high-engagement posts
- Email: Segmentation, behavior-based automation
- Event Tech: Digital invitations, QR check-in, real-time polling
Webie Vietnam turns strategy into action with tools like:
- VCard – a digital business card that tracks interactions
- Online Invitations with personalized branding
- Digital Voting and live feedback tools for immersive event experiences
- Task Management platform integrated with CRM, enabling seamless coordination and tracking across all campaign layers
5. Action – Operational planning and execution
Even the best strategy fails without execution:
- Assign tasks across content, media, tech, and support teams
- Create a detailed project timeline
Track progress through a centralized task management system
Webie Vietnam offers a marketing task management solution with CRM integration, allowing cross-functional teams to stay aligned, on-schedule, and outcome-focused.
6. Control – Measure, analyze, and improve
Performance tracking is key to strategic success:
- Monitor SEO rankings, ad performance, CRM analytics, and event ROI
- Analyze customer behavior and funnel drop-offs
- Continuously optimize using TOWS methodology
With Webie’s unified analytics tools, you’ll gain access to:
- SEO and Paid Ads performance dashboards
- Email open rates and CRM engagement reports
- Event metrics from Smart Check-in, Voting systems, and Invitation interactions
This enables businesses to know where they are and how to refine them for consistent growth.

- Unify and scale marketing across platforms
