Marketing expert discusses the strategies and techniques that are well suited for developing companies to drive their business growth.
Event Details
Identifying the appropriate amount of marketing spending to scale up a new business, partnering to co-brand for growth, keeping a consistent alignment with customer motivations, and staying focused on strategy – these are common challenges for entrepreneurs that often call for more effective solutions than the choices made. For small business, missteps here can evolve into life-or-death decisions.
This month will feature a consultant who has guided many companies along their particular growth trajectories to strike an effective balance between their external environments and organizational strengths. He can translate the sound marketing principles that have broad applicability into tailored guidance that is most relevant for the particular imperatives of new business success.
