This includes creating a framework and writing internal communications, training documentation, marketing collateral and business proposals as well as reporting into various stakeholders. As part of the process we will discuss the goal behind my assignment and any restrictions or potential hurdles and how we can work together to get results. This could involve managing relationships and gaining buy in within personnel, directors, channel partners, suppliers and of course customers. Utilising both offline and online marketing channels I work with clients to enhance their brand value and increase profitability. This can be done on a project by project, monthly retainer or a combination to maximise budget and growth potential of the client.For retained and strategy development clients I work alongside management, technical and sales teams as well as undertaking customer and competitor analysis to determine how their offering is benefiting their existing markets. From here we work together to optimise a marketing plan based around the company goals including how we build and maintain loyalty and areas where we can extend the reach such as new markets or further product development. This includes managing outsourced resources such as PR, market research and design and print. Show less
