The Surrender Marketing Diagnostic is based on the four principles of Upstream Marketing: Insight, Identity, Innovation, and Integration. The framework was developed by Tim Koelzer, Founder and Managing Partner of EquiBrand Consulting and co-author of the Amazon best-selling book Upstream Marketing. The assessment helps leadership teams identify where execution may have outpaced strategy and where greater strategic alignment is needed.
