Fractal Friday Digital Marketing Round Up #70
Weekend inspiration and essential marketing content from the world of MMC Learning.
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn”. –Benjamin Franklin
ANNOUNCING A NEW SUITE OF SUPPORT IN BUILDING HIGH PERFORMING TEAMS
At MMC we recognise that marketing teams, and marketing leaders, are being challenged like never before.
Organisations are demanding more from their marketing investment and demanding more from their marketing teams. This puts skills such as strategy formulation, effective communication and tactical implementation in sharp focus.
Often marketers complete courses of study early in their careers and rarely get an opportunity to update their knowledge apart from a sporadic immersion in free and low cost short-courses and conferences.
So it’s time for something different.
HOW TO GET YOUR MARKETING TEAM THINKING AND ACTING MORE STRATEGICALLY
With modern marketing departments requiring specialists with a broad understanding of core marketing principles (T shaped marketer), how can a Head of Marketing foster a team capable of thinking more strategically and adding greater value to the organisation?
WHY MOST MARKETING PROFESSIONALS FIND CONTENT MARKETING HARD – AND THREE WAYS TO MAKE CONTENT MARKETING EASIER
Survey statistics from SmartInsights indicate that around 60% of organisations still don’t have a documented content marketing strategy that drives the marketing activity of their business.
Astounding when you consider the huge volume of effort businesses seem to put into marketing. Marketing without true focus that an entire team or business can rally behind.
We recently chatted to Geraint Holliman about content marketing strategy and asked him three big questions.
BUILDING A PURPOSE DRIVEN BRAND
70% of employees believe it’s important to work for a business with a clear sense of purpose.
And, 54% of consumers have reduced or stopped purchasing from organisations they think missed the mark on environmental or social issues.
