Strategic Customer-Centric Marketing (Half Day)

(Half Day Workshop)

Workshop Description

Unfortunately for many companies today, marketing with a customer-centric approach is not the norm. In many instances important marketing decisions are being made without key customer-centric knowledge, and opportunities for customer value creation are being missed.

Conversely, customer-centric companies make business and marketing decisions that support the creation of customer value. These decisions are made possible by knowing the right insights to use, how to source them, and how to activate insights in order to make business and marketing decisions that are focused on customer value creation.

This interactive program focuses on key client responsibilities that ensure their organization becomes and remains “Customer Focused.” Customer Centricity is presented as a strategic imperative, not a “flavor of the month” program. This interactive workshop teaches effective approaches to marketing strategy that enables participating teams to master a best practice strategic marketing framework that supports the delivery of powerful customer-centric marketing.

This engaging workshop uses focused exercises to build skills and provides best in-class marketing examples. Program content has been developed through extensive work with major benchmark organizations across industries. It was developed with the Global Marketing Community in mind. The concepts and tools presented are equally appropriate and applicable regardless of region or industry.

*This workshop can be tailored to any marketing level where the marketers are building campaign communications to B2B or B2C audiences.
