Realize Increased Revenues

Marketing strategy drives critical business decisions: The customers you target, the products and services you deliver to them and the messages that will persuade targets to use and recommend you.  In every economic cycle, there’s a need to refresh your strategic marketing plans – customer value drivers change, your sales approach adapts and new marketing communications are enhanced to further differentiate you from the competition.

Successful marketing strategy requires a thorough knowledge of the market. An information-based marketing strategy guides the use of limited resources toward the critical few markets, internal resources and tactics that matter most. This strategy-based implementation will enable your organization to win in the market.

Our marketing strategy frameworks maximize the value of your existing market intelligence and research. We work with your team to provide rich descriptions of the target markets and identify the best opportunities for marketing communications and sales.

We can support your specific strategic marketing endeavors with the following methods and tools:

• • Brand Trust Model – as the business environment becomes more competitive, brand management becomes even more important. The process of evaluating your brand’s performance is often referred to as a brand audit. A comprehensive brand evaluation usually elicits the input from two constituencies – employees and customers. Our Brand Trust Model offers you insight on the value, difference, experience and loyalty of your brand.

• • Message Mapping – to assess and improve the performance of your communications. Message mapping is the process through which organizations align messaging with the brand. A message map allows you to strategically plan what you want to say in your communications and ensure consistency.

• • Sales and Marketing Assessment Tool (SMART) – to prioritize the areas within the organization that require the most attention.Too often, the notion that strategy is about making choices about what NOT to do is overlooked. SMART solves that problem by using our audit and benchmarking tools to provide a strategic view of sales and marketing management decisions.
