2026 Marketing Planning: Why It’s Not Too Late to Make It Your Best Year Yet

If your 2026 marketing plan isn’t buttoned up yet, you’re not alone, but you are on the clock.

By Q4, most developers, owners, and operators are busy closing leases, prepping for the holidays, and juggling budgets, but those who plan ahead for the next year are the ones who start fast, scale strategically, and finish strong.

At Kayyem Marketing, we help properties, portfolios, and brands turn that scramble into strategy. Because 2026 is coming fast, and the old playbook won’t cut it.

Why 2026 Requires a Different Kind of Marketing Plan

The landscape has shifted. Again.

Between AI-driven analytics, evolving consumer expectations, and the merging of digital and physical experiences, 2026 will reward the properties and brands that think bigger and act faster.

This year’s most successful CRE marketers will:

  • Plan partnerships early. Corporate sponsorships and brand collaborations take time to negotiate, and they’re where the ROI lives.
  • Budget smarter, not smaller. Shifting funds from static ads to dynamic activations and digital storytelling pays off in engagement and leasing performance.
  • Leverage data creatively. Wi-Fi analytics, CRM tools, and social listening aren’t just reporting tools, they’re roadmaps for growth.
  • Integrate digital from the start. From SEO-rich websites to email funnels to short-form video, it all needs to ladder up to leasing and brand objectives.

The question isn’t if you should refresh your marketing strategy for 2026. It’s how fast you can get started.
