THE (not so) PERFECT PLAN
Don't let Blind Spots sabotage your go to market plans
Go-to-marketing plans aren't a 'nice-to-have', marketing plans are a 'must-have'. Think of your marketing plan as a road map with fail-safe mechanisms for meeting business objectives. If built on a weak foundation, marketing plans are like a house of cards that crumble without notice.
That's why our planning process begins with research and analysis about the market, competitors and perceived value of your market offering to eliminate blind spots. We bring fact-based information into your organization, not otherwise not be available, to guide idea generation, development of alternative options and decision making.
Based on a solid foundation of fact-based market intelligence we apply creativity, proven approaches and market insights to help you build an effective go-to-market plan.
Go-to-Marketing Planning for Success
eliminate blind spots and integrate marketing with sales activities
It's easy to get caught up in tried and true marketing basics that cover all aspects of what a marketing plan should be. Effective marketing plans don't just heighten awareness, create interest and position market offerings. Effective marketing plans bridge the gap between marketing programs and sales processes.
That's why we include building sales enablement tools and sales tactics into our go-to-marketing planning process. We call it execution 'follow-through' to merge the marketing process with the sales process . . . . making each process stronger and more effective.
EXECUTIVE GTM PLANNING
Our Executive Go-to-Marketing Planning Workshop helps companies that want to infuse new ideas into their business development activities or accelerate revenue growth, are in the process of launching a new product or entering a new market, or are facing competitive challenges in the marketplace.
The program uses fact-based market intelligence to build a go-to-market program leveraging multi-departmental participation and value-add while integrating marketing best practices with advanced sales processes. The outcome is better decision-making and an executable road map for driving revenue and profit.

Content Marketing Services
great marketing is impossible without great content
Useful content should be at the core of your marketing
Content marketing is a strategic marketing approach focused on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action.
Instead of pitching your products or services, provide truly relevant and useful content to your prospects and customers to help them solve their issues.
Our marketing materials make you stand out in crowded markets
Our print and digital based content goes beyond traditional advertising-speak. We customize your message to your target audience in ways that make your brand speak loudly and in engaging terms.
Good content tells your story in a compelling way.
Some things
we do to develop great content
Research
We collect and interpret data about your market and competition so when it gets to producing content, the story-line and your message will be relevant, credible, and targeted to your specific audience.
Strategy
Developing content for content's sake seldom delivers results. We help you build a comprehensive content and distribution plan that aligns your message to each buyer persona and your audiences' buying cycle.
Design
For your audience to understand your message, you first have to capture their attention. We make your content not only sound good but also look good in a brand supporting way.
Copywriting
Here's where creativity and style comes into play. Our forty years of business experience gives us plenty of creativity to produce meaningful content that is relevant and of value to your audience.

Email Marketing
Services
72% people prefer to receive promotional content through email, compared to 17% who prefer social media.
Email Marketing is far from being dead
91% of consumers check their email daily. According to HubSpot, 76% of marketers today say they use email more now than they did three years ago. A study by Custora, predictive analytics firm, reported that customer acquisition via email has quadrupled in the last 4 years.
Despite the popularity of Facebook, Twitter and the like, email marketing continues to play a critical roll in successful marketing strategies. Just think about it. There are over three times (3X) more email accounts that there are Facebook and Twitter combined.
Part of the reason is that while social media is in some cases good for customer exposure, email marketing is in all cases the most cost effective solution for customer acquisition.
Email marketing is far from being dead. Marketers consistently rank email as the single most effective tactic for customer awareness, acquisition, conversion, and retention.

From concept to results
A marketing campaign is a well organized process to communicate a message to the marketplace for a specific purpose. The purpose typically has a narrow, if not singular, focus, like creating awareness, generating leads or perhaps collecting feedback from the market.
The methods and tools however are numerous. Marketing campaigns use specially created messaging assets that are distributed through various channels and media types. Multiple, carefully sequenced touch points and targeted messages matched to each identified buying persona are a mandate.
We help businesses develop successful marketing campaigns that are based on thorough planning and research, a comprehensive understanding of competition, market needs and competitive differentiation and best practices for engaging target audiences.
