Planning and measuring
Marketing should be about momentum. Implementing measurable activities that generate qualified leads for your business.
A marketing plan isn’t essential, but without some marketing planning you are seriously limiting your chances of success. Planning isn’t about fancy bound documents filled with buzzwords and graphs, it is primarily the act of thinking about what you want to achieve as a business. It is a process of determining how you will allocate your resources (time, money, activities etc) to achieve a desired goal.
We can help you do the thinking, identify the appropriate metrics required to track your progress, and then produce agile marketing plans for your in-house team and funders.
Typical planning projects we undertake include:
- Developing market entry strategy
- Defining product launch activity
- Specifying ongoing content development
- Design metrics and measurement systems
- Developing market growth plans
- Designing lead generation programmes
- Developing PR and communication plans
- Building an ongoing agile planning process
Value Propositions
When you hear the word marketing, what words come to mind?
Hype, noise, buzz, lies, exaggeration, gimmicks, glitz, glamour?
Tech companies that rely on this sort of approach to their marketing usually do so because they haven’t developed a compelling story for their customers. Doing the hard work to uncover this story is one of the secrets to sustained, successful marketing.
Concentrate help define these stories based on qualitative research with existing and potential customers. Customers gain insight into how potential customers perceive their service, and what benefits potential customers are seeking. It also clarifies the unique value your company delivers to its customers, which is the core of differentiating yourself in a market.
