Marketing Plan in a Day (Full Day)

(Full Day Workshop)

Many organizations dread their annual brand-planning season because the process is long and tedious. The problem is further compounded when plans are developed in a vacuum, endlessly revised, or are not actionable because key stakeholders are insufficiently involved. In some cases, plans are revisited rather than reinvented. The bottom line is that planning frequently results in suboptimal output.

This workshop provides a new way to develop and implement an effective marketing plan by focusing on teaching the Marketing Plan in a Day (MPD) methodology. MPD is a collaborative framework that focuses on addressing three key questions: Where are we now? Where are we going? How will we get there? This collaborative method brings all key stakeholders to the table to invent and invest in plans that work by addressing these three questions in an energetic and interactive process.

Through facilitation on all key elements of the plan, this workshop will help you and your team develop two essential skills:

1. How to make marketing planning more efficient, effective, and fun
2. The ability to make marketing plans more collaborative and market-ready
Using MPD principles, any team can build out a detailed, integrated working plan in hours rather than days, weeks, or months.
