Many people are interested in this question, because, from the outside it seems that a strategist, having received a request from a client, goes to his “secret place” and returns with a ready-made plan.

In his article, Yevhen shares how strategy is born in his head and, consequently, in Brain Tank. He compares the process of creating a marketing strategy to a war, using the ideas of great strategists such as Philip Kotler, Al Ries, Jack Trouts, Carl von Clausewitz, and Sun Tzu.
