Our Introduction to Marketing Plans
This intensive workshop covers all the key marketing foundations essential to understanding how to market any business and put into place a solid marketing plan.
You’ll learn the basics of brand strategy that you can apply to a business, corporate or non-profit (or perhaps just a good idea).
At the beginning of the workshop, you will be provided with a detailed marketing plan template that can be completed as we go through the following topics:
Course structure
Part 1: Situation Analysis
• Why understanding your customers is critical to your future success
• What you offer, to whom and why customers should care (a clue: it’s all about value!)
• What you are good at, and your competition is not – Your SWOT analysis
• Sourcing and understanding global trends that can impact your business
Part 2: Brand Strategy
• How to segment and target your market
• Why selecting your positioning makes all the difference between success and failure
Part 3: Value Creation Mix
• Branding and how this can be leveraged
• How to create, deliver and communicate value
