Services tailored to meet the needs of your business
Boards of Directors and Senior Management briefings and presentations to win their support and commitment
A winning strategy not only requires carefully evaluated market insights and actionable output but also requires the full support of its directors and senior management teams. This is as essential at the start of any strategic review as it is at its conclusion and implementation stages. In addition, keeping key personnel informed of the review’s findings as it progresses has an equally important role to play.
Motivating and entertaining conference presentations and keynote addresses to enthuse marketers and their business colleagues on the value of marketing
New ideas and different approaches to developing winning strategies regardless of how essential they may sound still require the right ‘packaging’ if they are to reach out and galvanize its audience into action. Having business colleagues as well as marketers motivated about what can be achieved provides valuable support to the marketing team charged with getting the job done.
Hands-on in-company marketing workshops in all the core areas in which delegates improve by applying the learning to their own business
To have delegates complete a workshop equipped with both the essential tools and techniques for world class marketing and the experience of applying them to their own business produces immediate results. Highly participative hands-on workshops covering the core components of Professor McDonald’s acclaimed strategic marketing process and Key Account Management programme are easily tailored to meet the needs of individual businesses.
Constructive reviews of a company’s marketing strategy and of its internal and external resources charged with executing it
An extensive experience bank built over many years, across a broad range of businesses and from around the world has become a valuable resource to businesses looking to review their current plans and how they are executed. Key to these reviews is not only knowing where but also how their strategy can be improved.
Consultants who engage with an assigned in-company marketing team to develop a market-winning strategy for the business
For a market-winning strategy to deliver the market performance and financial results it is capable of requires the strategy and the process used in its development to be embedded into the fabric of the business and fully owned by the company. The full potential of Professor McDonald’s tools and techniques are achieved with consultants whose approach is to partner an in-company team and whose method of working means the skills they bring to the assignment are transferred to this team.
