Foundation for Marketing Programme

Our ‘Foundation for Marketing’ workshop programme is perfect for business leaders who’d like to access expert marketing knowledge to inspire themselves or their wider team to think about marketing with a fresh perspective. 

Designed to focus on the specific challenge of B2B marketing, we’ll help you review your business marketing priorities and figure out how and when to attract the ideal clients. We'll also show you how to avoid the pitfalls and distractions of selling the wrong things to the wrong people at the wrong time!

This programme will support you to shape all the details of your marketing, define the characteristics of your brand and communicate with compelling marketing messages. The final output will be greater clarity regarding what you’re selling, to who, when, and why.

Over nine weeks in two hour sessions, participants will take part in a series of facilitated discussions led by one of our marketing strategists. The sessions work well for leaders who want one-to-one coaching, or wider teams that perhaps need expert guidance to think smarter, deeper, and more creatively about marketing.

The weekly sessions will set tasks to help you work systematically through the key elements of a marketing strategy… which we call ‘Foundation for Marketing’. 

You might want your leadership team to take part or perhaps a mixture of people from across the business – sales, marketing, customer service…

Transformational & Mind-Blowing!
Can’t express strongly enough how brilliant this Masterclass Programme has been for my start-up business - and I truly believe it would be just as well suited to a large, well-established company. It provoked some deep thinking, inspired some challenging changes of perspective, and left me excited and confident of my next steps by arming me with an approach that will grow with my business.
