Marketing Strategy

Overview

Our marketing and sales capabilities span the entire commercial journey

Speak to the right customers in the right way at the right time. The marketing landscape is changing more rapidly than at any time in the recent past, with digital, social and mobile technologies superseding traditional models of engagement.

To develop marketing strategies which will direct your resources more effectively, we combine our commercial expertise in customer insight with a holistic approach which gets your message in front of the audiences you need to reach.

An intelligent strategy provides peace of mind. A plan which outlines how to achieve your goals, it solidifies leadership direction, foresees potential issues and establishes your overall vision.

We accelerate businesses by creating marketing and digital operating models, organisational structures, processes and governance. We identify gaps between the existing model and what is necessary for the future, and then design the marketing plan, processes and technology roadmaps necessary to get there.

You’ll stimulate sales and strengthen your market positioning, thanks to a strategic view of the marketing mix that ties in more effectively with sales and product strategy.

Some of the common questions we hear from our clients include:

What’s our vision for marketing next year? The next three years?

How can we use digital and data to make marketing more effective and efficient?

How can marketing enable sales in an increasingly omni-channel buying environment?

How do we integrate marketing initiatives across online, mobile, and social channels to ensure consistent messaging and brand experience?

How do we align our marketing expenses with the most profitable customer segments, channels and accounts to maximise ROI?

Which type of segmentation approach should we take for each product to maximise the opportunity for our overall company portfolio?

How large is the opportunity for each customer segment and how should we address the drivers and barriers within each?

What is the optimal promotional allocation across our product portfolio?

Companies need to look comprehensively at the entire set of promotional tactics and go to market with a multi-channel approach driven by customer preferences.  An effective marketing mix will maximise a company’s chances of achieving and exceeding its sales targets, as well as provide a competitive advantage.

Innovative marketing strategies

Marketing issues are rarely standalone problems. We link marketing to the company’s overall strategy, revenue and business model to ensure that our clients take a holistic approach to marketing efficiency which improves their top and bottom lines.

Our work ranges from strategic marketing topics such as market entry and marketing growth and segmentation strategies, to operative marketing measures and marketing tactics such as improving marketing efficiency and effectiveness. We help clients develop product portfolios which incorporate customer segmentation and innovative digital marketing strategies.

An end-to-end marketing planning approach

Customer insight: Our advisors use rigorous qualitative and quantitative research and analytics to help you gain a deeper understanding of your customers and learn more about your customers’ needs, values and motivations.  We’ll help you prioritise opportunities with the highest market potential and expected return.

Clear strategies for growth: once we identify the best opportunities for growth, we design the most effective marketing strategy to capture it.  Based on insights into your customers’ behaviours, including their needs, values, device and information preferences, communication styles, and motivation, we design effective positioning, messaging, customer journeys and engagement strategies.

Actionable plans and implementation: we don’t stop with strategy.  We provide a detailed map of customer interaction throughout the customer journey along with actionable marketing plans designed to drive growth by key segment.  We take your new strategies through to marketing action by defining the activities you need to engage customers at pivotal moments along their journey.

Capability development: collaboration is vital to the success of any strategy we develop, which is why we work alongside you and your agencies from design and implementation through organisation-wide adoption, execution and beyond to ensure that the strategies deliver the results you’re looking for.
