Nowadays, technological development is rapid development. Now technology change can make activities can be easier to carry out, one of them in marketing. Currently, various marketing activities, both small and large sectors, use technology in their development. With the rapid development of technology, marketing is not a difficult thing anymore. One of the uses of technology can be felt in the SMEs sector. The marketing strategy with a strategic content marketing pattern will further increase the growth rate of buying interest in products offered by SMEs. Content Marketing is a strategy where marketers plan, create and distribute content that can attract targeted audiences, then drive them to become customers. Although a content marketing strategy is essential, not all SMEs use digital marketing in running their business. This is because SMEs are often categorized as highlighters in terms of technology. Being left behind in terms of managing content marketing strategy is due to less reliable resources in mastering technology, but SMEs are still required to master information technology to expand a wider market reach. This is because consumers today are consumers who actively use technology in the form of gadgets.

It is highlighted that in the process of substantiation and development of marketing strategies, depending on the type of enterprise development, three interrelated tasks are solved: * development of a set of marketing activities; * adaptation of the enterprise to changes in the external environment; * ensuring the adequacy of the company's marketing policy to the changing needs of customers. Subject to the gradual development of marketing strategy, based on the proposed structural and logical scheme and assessment of the competitive position of the enterprise should take into account both its existing and potential customers and competitors. The company needs to constantly analyze competitors and develop competitive marketing strategies that will provide it with effective positioning in relation to competitors and provide the maximum possible competitive advantage. The competitor-oriented approach is based on the strategy and tactics of counteracting competitors. Within this approach, two ways to achieve competitive advantage can be used: cost leadership and a set of actions to degrade the quality of the competitive environment. The main method of achieving competitive advantage, which is used within the consumer-oriented approach, is product differentiation. The tool of differentiation is positioning, which is carried out primarily through a set of marketing communications and promotion strategies.

The article discusses the use of the mathematical apparatus of game theory in strategic marketing. The use of the game theory toolkit in the formation of the marketing strategies of an enterprise has been investigated. According to the results of the study, it has been established that the introduction of game theory methods into marketing activities will make it possible to analyze complex socio-economic systems for solving strategic problems. Game theory models can be thought of as games of strategies or actions, such as setting prices, setting the size of output, determining the cost of advertising, or determining the cost of promoting products to the market. It is noted that game theory can predict the results of competitive situations and help choose optimal strategies. For practical work in strategic marketing, it is of particular importance that game theory allows you to choose optimal strategies that can improve the structure and outcome of the game. The use of the conceptual apparatus of the theory in economic theory is analyzed using the example of quantitative models of duopoly and the concept of equilibrium. The description of the mathematical model of strategic interaction is formalized, which reflects the inherent features of the conflict. The procedure for applying game theory in the formation of marketing strategies of enterprises is analyzed and the main stages of the procedure for choosing an optimal marketing strategy using game theory are highlighted. An algorithm for applying the mathematical apparatus of game theory in marketing activities is proposed. When developing a marketing strategy for an enterprise, general marketing goals are considered, depending on the level of strategic management and goals concerning individual elements of the marketing mix. A "tree of goals" of an enterprise for a marketing complex is proposed when forming a marketing strategy of an enterprise using the mathematical apparatus of game theory. A payment matrix has been formed, which makes it possible to determine possible optimal strategies and options for the game. The problems of using the mathematical apparatus in the formation of the marketing strategies of the enterprise are highlighted. The conceptual apparatus has been determined and basic tasks have been formulated, with the help of which the game theory toolkit allows making decisions in the marketing activities of an enterprise.
