What is strategic marketing?

There is a massive shift going on under our feet. No longer are marketing basics going to work for attracting and sustaining long-term growth in your business. There are a ton of articles floating around the web that relate to marketing and strategy. Many of them are very good and helpful, but where do you start? In an era of massive change, what brings the best ROI?
