The 'tactical approach' involves identifying resources, goals, obstacles and competition ... then planning an 'operation' in accordance with that intelligence so the graphics, illustrations, written copy, public relations strategy and web site content are specifically oriented to the intended audience, and either take into account, or counter, your competitor's efforts ...its a chess game and the stakes are high.
