Description

“Working out which attributes you want to stand for, which ones you want to grow, which you want to reduce and whether – a year from now – you have achieved your ends, are among the most worthwhile and valuable activities a marketer can commit to.”
Mark Ritson,  Adjunct Professor of Marketing at Melbourne Business School, PhD in Marketing from Lancaster University, columnist @ Marketing Week.

The deception of ‘short-termism’, and a blind focus on return-on-investment, has put pressure on Marketers to plan and invest almost exclusively based on achieving immediate return. 
Strategy to build long-term meaningful engagement and profitability  has never been so critical to avoid the trap of devaluing your brand and future profits.

A one day course to give you confidence in how best to approach developing a Marketing Strategy in your business and the importance of segmenting, targeting and positioning your brand in a competitive market.  To ensure generation of leads, achieving the organisation's commercial goals and drive future growth and users.

The session has been designed to equip mid-level Marketers with tools and techniques and a framework for designing a Marketing Strategy for products or services. 

Where practical we will discuss live examples to illustrate best practice.
