Marketing is possibly the most important management skill necessary for the success of a business, yet it is also possibly one of the most misunderstood, usually being bundled up in “sales and marketing”. Consequently, core marketing principles are rarely fully incorporated in the management practices of most small or even medium sized businesses.

We define marketing as: “The management process responsible for identifying, anticipating, and satisfying customer requirements profitably”

The real challenge of marketing is to establish the culture which maintains the focus of the business’s strategy, ensuring that the right products and services are developed, to develop the information and measurement systems that enable correct decision making, and ensuring that business resources are efficiently applied to maximise profit.

Usually in a small business this strategic role is undertaken by the business owner or managing director, but frequently the MD does not have the time or the specialist skills necessary to fully integrate this process into the management of the organisation, with the result is that marketing activity is often not clearly defined, and consequently poorly focused, unmeasured and somewhat inefficient.

We will then work closely with you to test those conclusions and recommendations, help you set objectives for your business, help you develop a strategic marketing plan, and establish the appropriate marketing mix.

But unlike conventional marketing consultants who often tend to hand over a plan and then leave you to get on with it, we will stay on board and assist you with the practical implementation of the strategy, helping you put in place the marketing structure and systems, and helping you become a truly “marketing based” organisation, ensuring that you and your staff are fully involved in the process.
