Step 1
Examine your business and its marketing activities
We come in for a half a day to meet with you, get to know you and your company. During this meeting, we ask a lot of questions, listen carefully, and agree on which areas to focus on. We start from where you are, and work towards where you want to get to.
Step 2
Develop a plan
We go away and work on your business problem for a day, using models designed specifically to pinpoint how you can improve your marketing and profitability. To do this, we:
Analyse your current situation.
Review and analyse your markets & customers.
Find your best customers, and how you can position your company to target them better.
Design a marketing strategy and plan for you, with a clear destination and objectives for how to get there through your branding, pricing, internal processes, and communication methods.
Hand this over to you with advice on how to implement, control and evaluate your progress.
Step 3
Deliver the plan
We come back and spend half a day with you, during which you get a short strategic report and a presentation. You’ll be able to walk away having understood:
Your market and external influences on your business and customers.
How to plan to position your company in your current and new markets.
Your internal processes and how to create new advantages from your existing strengths.
What to do next – which will depend on your situation – and how to check it’s working.
What’s in it for you?
