After many decades in marketing, my philosophy regarding marketing hasn’t changed:Get the right message to the right people in the right ways at the right time using the right tools.Simple in concept, but not easy to execute. Most companies struggle with the right message and that all depends on the markets you serve. Your business may be able to serve everyone but that approach generally doesn’t connect with anyone. There’s never enough money - that’s why we must have a strategy to stop wasting time, money and resources. Blended decades of ad agencies, Fortune 100 senior marketing positions, mid-sized technology and professional services marketing roles into my consulting and strategy coaching business. I believe most marketing is out of alignment somewhere, often in several places: message isn’t aligned with the market’s needs; the company doesn’t differentiate positioning; target market isn’t clear; messaging sucks and isn't "real"; and the channels are ineffective.
