Course Description
We have created our Masterclass series for senior-level marketers looking to take a deep-dive into a specialised topic, to enable you to make insightful decisions and better choices for your business. The series is focused on helping you develop competencies specific to the knowledge, skills and mindset required of senior marketing leaders.
This half-day course is for anyone who wants to make their marketing communications more effective, efficient and accountable. This course will be broken down into 3 sections.
- Section 1: 9am-10am
- Section 2: 10.30am-11.30am
- Section 3: 12pm-1pm
You’ll learn:
- How marketing communications really work – and why most of the things you’ve been taught are wrong.
- How to make them work better – and why most marketers get the balance wrong.
- How to evaluate them properly – and why much research is misleading.
At the end of the session, you’ll have a much deeper understanding of how to plan, measure and optimise marketing communications, and will have a new set of intellectual tools that will help your company to increase sales and profit.
