You're a Newbie
We've all got to start somewhere.
The power of marketing might be undervalued and overlooked within your organization. With all the focus on sales, your marketing strategy and effectiveness remain a mystery. If any of the below are true, we can help.
Current Situation:
- Stagnancy: Processes don't evolve, there's no test and learn, hindering innovation and diminishing room for growth.
- Leadership Challenges: Convincing leadership that marketing can add value and drive sales is difficult. Current marketing efforts are functional but fail to convey the true value and passion of your brand. And that shows up in ROI.
- Perception of Marketing: Marketing is viewed as a cost rather than an investment. It's not the first thing to go, it's already gone.
Reflect and Consider:
- Market Understanding: Do you have a clear plan for understanding your market, competitors, and what customers need?
- Advocacy for Marketing: How can you show the power of marketing and inspire from within your organization?
- What's Next: Are you ready to take the steps necessary to move your organization forward?

You're Coasting
You're playing it safe, but you sound like everyone else.
Current Situation:
- Conservative Approach: Marketing is seen more as a sales aid than a business driver, and this perception is unlikely to change soon.
- Perception of Marketing: Internally, marketing is viewed as cosmetic, lacking depth and differentiation. It's seen more as a support function.
- Customer Understanding: How well do you understand what your customers are looking for, and how can you attract new ones?
- Differentiation: Your brand architecture and key messages are not differentiated or distinctive within the category.
Reflect and Consider:
- Dependability: To become more dependable in your category, you need to address several marketing, operational, and business challenges.
- Your Long-term Strategy: Do you have a plan to change and elevate your marketing efforts? How can you demonstrate the impact and value of marketing on your organization? What does ROI look like?

You're Dependable
There's nothing wrong with being middle of the road. Unless you're stuck there.
You're reliable and trusted, however, you're a little unpredictable and inconsistent, which holds you back.
Current Situation:
- Customer Insight: You have a good understanding of your customer base, but you may lack the distinctiveness to really push on.
- Consistency Issues: Internally, you struggle to break free from operational conventions and achieve consistent differentiation.
- Perception of Marketing: You believe there is more you can do to differentiate your marketing, but you feel stuck in the middle — dependable, reliable, and predictable.
Reflect and Consider:
- Strategic Elevation: How can you step up your organization's marketing to achieve more and break away from the middle ground?
- Change Things Up: What outside influences could help you cut through the noise?

You're an Achiever
People know who you are. Make them remember you.
Your marketing is differentiated, distinctive, customer-centric, and effective. Even award-winning. It regularly exceeds its objectives, yet you are still trailing the market leader, and competitors are closing the gap.
Current Situation:
- Organizational Support: Marketing is a recognized growth-driver, and you have significant investment and support.
- Detailed Planning: You operate multi-layered marketing plans and have clear performance criteria set out.
- Market Responsiveness: You react well to market changes or customer demands.
Reflect and Consider:
- Next Level: You are looking to take things to the next level and continue to lead in your category. But how do you reach the upper echelons?
