Think broadly and avoid filtering ideas too early.<\/p>\n<p>Brainstorm everything from small adjustments (such as changing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mickyweis.com\/en\/what-is-cta\/\">CTA<\/a> on a landing page) to larger strategic initiatives (such as implementing a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mickyweis.com\/en\/marketing-automation\/\">marketing automation system<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Use data for inspiration \u2014 for instance, review which campaigns are underperforming or which channels have low conversion rates. This ensures that ideas are rooted in real opportunities for improvement.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Evaluate_impact_and_effort\"><\/span>2. <strong>Evaluate impact and effort<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once you have your list, assess each task based on two axes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Impact:<\/strong> What difference will this initiative make? (e.g., improved conversion rate, better user experience, increased traffic, stronger brand value)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Effort:<\/strong> How many resources are required? (time, money, people, technical complexity, dependencies)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A simple 1\u20135 scale can be used for both. Adding short notes that explain each score increases transparency and makes the matrix more valuable over time.<\/p>\n<p>To reduce subjectivity, involve multiple perspectives. This ensures a more balanced understanding of both potential and cost.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Plot_ideas_in_the_matrix\"><\/span>3. <strong>Plot ideas in the matrix<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After evaluation, place each idea into the four quadrants: Quick wins, Big bets, Fill-ins and Thankless tasks.<\/p>\n<p>Some teams choose to use color coding (e.g., green for \u201clow effort,\u201d red for \u201chigh effort\u201d) to make the visual overview clearer.<\/p>\n<p>Group discussion is often key \u2014 the conversation about <em>why<\/em> an activity belongs in a specific quadrant can be more insightful than the placement itself.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Prioritize_and_plan\"><\/span>4. <strong>Prioritize and plan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once the matrix is complete, it should be translated into action. Use the four quadrants as a guide:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Start with quick wins for fast results and team motivation.<\/li>\n<li>Plan big bets strategically by allocating sufficient resources and defining clear milestones.<\/li>\n<li>Execute fill-ins when time allows.<\/li>\n<li>Review and possibly eliminate thankless tasks unless there\u2019s a compelling reason to pursue them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finish by creating a prioritized list or roadmap that orders activities by importance.<br \/>\nIn this way, the matrix becomes a living planning tool that can be updated and reused over time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Examples_of_use_in_marketing\"><\/span><strong>Examples of use in marketing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To make the matrix more tangible, here\u2019s how it can be applied across different marketing disciplines.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Content_marketing\"><\/span>1. Content marketing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A marketing team can easily end up with a long list of ideas for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mickyweis.com\/en\/blog-structure-layout\/\">blog posts<\/a>, videos, e-books or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mickyweis.com\/en\/active-campaign-newsletters\/\">newsletters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The problem isn\u2019t lack of ideas, but lack of resources. The matrix helps create focus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The team might ask:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Which topics have high search volume and audience relevance (high impact)?<\/li>\n<li>Which require deep research, interviews or complex visuals (high effort)?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sometimes a simple how-to post or republishing evergreen content can outperform a large whitepaper project. The result is more data-driven prioritization and less reliance on intuition.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Paid_advertising_PPC\"><\/span>2. <strong>Paid advertising <\/strong> (PPC)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In paid media, where every penny counts, the impact-effort matrix is particularly useful for continuous campaign optimization.<\/p>\n<p>If performance data shows underperforming ads, the team can assess which adjustments provide the best return for the effort:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A quick update to ad copy or testing new visuals might be low effort with high impact.<\/li>\n<li>Completely restructuring campaigns or developing advanced automation scripts requires higher investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The matrix helps balance short-term quick wins with long-term strategic gains.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_CRO_and_website_optimization\"><\/span>3. CRO <strong>and website optimization<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Conversion optimization often involves a long list of potential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mickyweis.com\/en\/a-b-testing\/\">A\/B tests<\/a>, design tweaks or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mickyweis.com\/en\/ux-design\/\">UX improvements.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Changing the placement of a CTA button might be low effort but high impact.<\/li>\n<li>Redesigning the checkout process is a big bet requiring substantial development time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Using the matrix as a filter helps identify low-hanging fruits for immediate wins while strategically planning more resource-intensive projects.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Social_media_marketing\"><\/span>4. Social media marketing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Social media managers face an ongoing stream of ideas for posts, formats and campaigns, but limited execution capacity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The matrix can help:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Evaluate which formats (video, infographic, story, etc.) deliver the most engagement.<\/li>\n<li>Identify which activities can be automated or repurposed from existing content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The result is a more efficient content plan where effort matches expected return, ensuring that the best ideas are prioritized first.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_E-mail_marketing_and_automation\"><\/span>5.
