| Corporate-Wide Marketing Planning Process: |
| |
Client Problem:
Major software company needed assistance with their corporate-wide annual marketing plans and process. The CMO needed a marketing plan to promote the budget and plans for the new fiscal year to senior management and to communicate and synchronize plans with the worldwide and regional marketing teams.
EE Solution:
Provided a team comprised of a Senior Strategist, Business Metrics Analyst, Project Manager and Administrative Support to work hand-in-hand with the client team to design and deliver the timelines, processes, and corporate-wide integration of the plans from the marketing functions and regions into a synthesized summary. The team applied industry best practice marketing budget metrics to the client’s current marketing spend to identify areas for re-balancing and investment. Plans were integrated into a PowerPoint presentation given by the CMO to senior executives of this company to justify decisions on funding and priorities.
Outcome:
Plans were well received and supported by senior management and the marketing VP’s. As one marketing VP said, “This was far and away the best plan from Marketing that the senior executive team has ever seen at our company… there’s no way not to appreciate the amazing progress the CMO and Staff have made in moving Marketing forward.” |
