There are three challenges which we are seeing impact how well marketing (and Marketing) performs and adds incremental value:
The key to overcoming these challenges is through Marketing Excellence: where planning and effectiveness come together to help build a strong effectiveness culture.
We help brands and agencies be the 'best they can be' (i.e. achieve Marketing Excellence) in two ways:
-
Identify and overcome effectiveness challenges by designing, delivering and embedding the right approaches, frameworks, and toolkits into the everyday ways of working
-
Increase the incremental value from marketing activities by striking a better balance between effectiveness (doing the right thing) and efficiency (doing things well)
When these three challenges are overcome, then we see impressive transformation, including:
-
Integrated and aligned Marketing teams
-
Informed and confident marketers in the art and science of effectiveness
-
A clear, step by step planning process with agreed roles & responsibilities
-
An effectiveness insight program matching the rhythm of the business
