Often the best place to start is to take stock. And that’s best done by a new but experienced pair of eyes. You might need your entire marketing function evaluated or merely one aspect of it.
A proper audit describes the commercial landscape, how it’s evolving, and examines both where you are and where you should be. Most importantly, it identifies the specific areas that need focus in order to get you there.
A fresh and radically honest appraisal of your current state.
All great marketing begins with a winning strategy. Yours must support the company’s overall business objectives and be framed in terms of outcomes.
Your strategy should be as long as it needs to be and as short as you can possibly make it. The executive leadership team should co-create and co-own it.
Clarity on how we’re going to achieve your commercial objectives.
“No one ever made a decision because of a number. They need a story,” wrote Daniel Kahneman, 2002 Nobel Prize winner in Economic Sciences. What’s your story?
The best brands tell stories. I’ll help you be crystal clear about your positioning: who you’re targeting, what they’re struggling with, how you can help, which alternatives they have, and - most importantly - why they should choose you.
Sharp writing that conveys your value proposition to your audiences.
A winning strategy is worthless without execution. That’s why you need a plan.
What tactics are you going to implement? Which channels will serve you best? Who is going to do what? When? How much is it all going to cost? I’ll deliver a clear and action-oriented plan that’s ready for execution.
Practical next steps that are assigned, time-bound and budgeted.
Even the world’s best leadership teams get stuck from time to time. Group think, the distractions of daily delivery, or over-familiarity with the issues at hand can all lead to uncertainty or analysis paralysis. Sometimes you need a fresh perspective.
In a carefully prepared workshop that follows a proven framework, together we’ll uncover the best way forward.
Reasoned and actionable decisions from a tried and tested process.
Who wouldn’t want a seasoned and objective sounding board, sparring partner, team coach, or independent adviser at their disposal?
Whether it’s ad hoc or on a regular basis, in person or virtually, I can listen, mentor and advise your team as they execute your strategy.
The guidance of an expert. Where and when you need it.
All InMarketing clients enjoy exclusive access to the 🔑 InMarketing vault, a dynamic repository of templates, processes and other best-practice guides, as well as a complimentary subscription to 🗞️ InMarketing This Week, a weekly briefing on news likely to impact you and ideas on what to do about it.
Perhaps the most underrated career superpower is being nice to work with. And at this stage in your career, why would you want to work with anyone who isn’t?
We won’t know whether we enjoy working together until we start, but I hope my principles will give you some insight into whether or not we’re a good fit.
