Services: Tactical Marketing Management

Tactical marketing is what most people think of when they hear 'Sales and Marketing.'

If Strategic Marketing is the message about your business: who, what, where, and why; then Tactical Marketing is the medium for delivering your message. 

An effective Tactical Marketing program communicates your strategic marketing message in a clear and compelling way to target customers and inspires them to begin the buying process.

Developing and implementing an effective marketing plan is not for the faint-hearted. Tactical Marketing programs use an array of specialists and materials that include:

Tactical Marketing Management guides a broad array
of creative specialists and deliverables.

- Graphic designers

- Writers

- Web site developers

- Advertising agencies

- Media/PR agencies

- Mailing List managers

- Lead Generation services

- Web sites

- Brochures, whitepapers and sales materials

- Product demos

- Press releases

- Trade shows

- Marketing emails

- Promotional events

To successfully manage the Tactical Marketing team and its deliverables, you need the following capabilities:

> Customer-oriented thinking and a deep understanding of your strategic marketing message 

> The ability to communicate with and manage creative and communications professionals

> An eye for clarity and usability in all communications: spoken, written and graphical

> The ability to select and use the right metrics to continuously improve the program.

Without these capabilities, your marketing team will produce great-looking materials that will say little of value to target customers and fail to drive sales. This challenge can be especially difficult for teams that are heavy on engineers and sales people.

With hands-on and management experience in these areas, we can help you to communicate a clear and effective message to your target customers.

"Because these writers don’t understand
how their products solve customer problems,
they cover by explaining how the product works
and pepper this blather with industry jargon"
