STRATEGY & PLANNING

In marketing, it’s tempting to jump straight to tactics before setting a marketing strategy – create a brochure, send a press release – because it feels good to “do something” to promote your business. But if your marketing efforts aren’t working together, they’re working against you.

SHOULD WE – OR SHOULDN’T WE?
“Should we or shouldn’t we?” is a critical question. CONTIVENT marketing strategy gives you the framework to assess unexpected opportunities as they arise. We use data to validate experience when deciding whether or not to pursue new ideas. The result is a thoughtful, measurable cross-platform strategy – firmly rooted in research, data and insight, and supported by proven, cost-effective, sustainable tactics.

STRATEGY THAT MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE BUSINESS
Too often, companies spend a great deal of time and energy creating a plan, only to have it gather dust on the shelf – while business goes on as usual around the office. CONTIVENT marketing strategies are realistic and sustainable. It’s a fine balance between business aspirations and actual budgetary and human resource constraints. Such constraints are not negatives – they are critical parameters that guide and shape the strategy.
