Overview

This course is intended to help you think more strategically about Marketing, so that you can develop and implement more impactful Marketing plans.

 

Marketing strategy, quite simply, is about making choices and then aligning all of your company’s activities around those choices.  Therefore, this course will help identify the critical decisions which need to be taken by your organisation and importantly the consequences those decisions should have on your company as a whole.

 

Through a combination of case-study discussions and business simulation exercises, you will experience first-hand what it takes to develop a coherent Marketing strategy.  You will have the opportunity to practice analysing potential customer segments, selecting the right target audience, and determining the best position for a new proposition.

 

And because the best strategy in the world isn’t worth anything if it doesn’t get implemented, you will learn tools and techniques to bring your strategy to life.  You will be exposed to the latest thinking around customer journey mapping and touchpoint prioritisation to ensure you will be able to pragmatically apply the knowledge you gain to your current business situation.

 

This full-day course, taught directly by Marketing expert Gary Raucher, will leave you with the tools and techniques you need to bring your current Marketing strategy to the next level.
