Strategic and tactical marketing – planning, implementation, analysis/audit

While everyone recognises the need to market their businesses these days, too few make the effort to thoroughly put together a marketing plan with both short and long term goals.  There is also the need to differentiate between the more tactical marketing activities which relates to the medium in which your message is delivered, and strategic marketing which relates to the content of your message.

Too often, even if a marketing  plan is put together, there is no-one in the organisation with the responsibility to ensure that the implementation goes ahead with the desired results.

Motivating People can provide a solution, working closely with the organisation throughout the life-cycle of a marketing plan. This includes a review of any existing strategy to ascertain how it fits into the overall objectives and goals.

Successful marketing never stands still – it is vitally important that the plan is regularly reviewed, benchmarked, analysed and refreshed. Motivating People provides an objective, highly professional and results-orientated consultancy to deliver results throughout the life-cycle of the marketing plan.

Focus Group Facilitation

In today’s increasingly busy, technology driven and “faceless” business environment, it is extremely important to make the effort to ask and engage the stakeholders in a meaningful way.

A very successful tool to achieve this is the targeted focus group. It produces qualitative data, often to support the broader quantitative results that may have already been gathered. It enables particular target markets to be segmented and engaged over identified issues. And while it provides a forum for specific answers it also allows a free flowing discussion that often brings out additional suggestions and potential solutions.

Motivating People will work with the organisation to develop and implement a successful focus group strategy, including the facilitation of the actual events. Post group discussion presentations will outline in detail the responses accumulated and how they address the original focus group brief.
