# SOSTAC ® AI Assisted Plans

Turn strategic ambition into a professional, executable marketing plan across six proven stages: Situation, Objectives, Strategy, Tactics, Action, and Control.

PR Smith's SOSTAC® is the world's most widely taught marketing planning framework, used by practitioners in over 100 countries for more than 30 years.
