Build Your Marketing Plan in a Day (Full Day)

(Full Day Workshop)

Workshop Description
In today’s ever-evolving business landscape, the role of marketing stands at the forefront of organizational success. Yet aligning across the various business objectives and working silos facing the marketing organization can prove challenging without a clear plan or process. Marketers that can deploy a proven planning process stand to be much more effective drivers of business value, communicating the key objectives and milestones of successful initiatives and achieving brand lift and growth.

This intensive workshop provides a practical framework for developing a robust marketing plan that will drive value for your organization. It is focused on three marketing horizons of demand generation, building brand equity, and delivering customer value in a step-by-step process that delivers against business goals. The workshop will combine the use of real-life examples, well established marketing frameworks, and breakout exercises. A practical, hands-on marketing planning template is provided as part of the workshop and participants will use it to build their own marketing plan during the day.

Key areas covered by the workshop:

• How to succeed in today's marketing environment
