Having different Scenarios associated with your bottoms up spend allows you to have a versatile plan in situations where your Top-down Allocation might increase or decrease. It is also helpful to have scenarios if Marketing Activities do not turn out as planned. Scenario Tags empower you to build a more dynamic plan by allowing you to easily view different scenarios to understand the different potential impacts on your marketing spend. Alternate plans help you stay agile so you are prepared in the event of any change to your plan throughout the fiscal year.
