    I think marketing strategy includes marketing plan. A marketing plan comes from a marketing strategy.

    strategy is more tactical - i would say has general ideas and the markerting plan has more specific details on how you are going to implement those ideas

    generally, a strategy is the way on how to reach a defined goal or set of goals.
    a (marketing) plan would be the operational measures which have to be taken.

    They are basically synonymous, call it whatever you want, but you need a good strategy or a good plan.
