Workshop

Digital marketing strategy workshop

Do you lack digital marketing skills?

Not to worry about – our digital marketing strategy workshop is 100% designed to adapt to your business.

Your business will have 80% more chances to succeed if you combine people with the right mindset, skills, integrating robust processes and continuous learning.

Trust your instincts, be creative, organised and lead your team to digital marketing transformation.

Where do you begin?

How do you go about it?

You may start by revising your business vision and goals to include the short and long-term actions,  know our audience inside-out, their needs, wants and of course how to answer their questions or help them. CMI often shares the following two key elements with the community, that you should remember at all times:

• Understand your goals.
• What is the mission at hand.

These are great, but I’ve added a third:

• Who is my real audience? Who am I talking to?

With these core elements in mind you’ll be able to see clearly. So now you need to start thinking about what type of content you should be creating and sharing with your audience. Every day we strategise new plans to help businesses execute online marketing campaigns that deliver measureable results for their clients.

I help small-to-medium sized businesses (SME’s) with digital marketing strategy and tactical content implementation. We also love to work with/help Startups too, as long they are ready and looking to speed up their tactical marketing efforts. This is an ideal compromise for startups that do not yet have or cannot afford to hire a full-time marketing person.

What will digital marketing workshop deliver?

I will work hands-on with a business/startup owner (s) for a fixed period of time. Commitement is needed from your end at this stage. But consider this as an investment!

For those of you who might be unfamiliar with this topic – imagine you’re a customer searching for your own products.

Let’s assume that your prospects are browsing for your services/products, but you failed to show up at the top of search engines with relevent information. Ouch.

By attending our digital marketing strategy workshop you will learn how to fix that.

In other words you will create a digital marketing master plan – road map around these three frameworks: Voice of the Business (V.O.B), Content strategy, and SEO.

You’ll get to implement content marketing tactics/campaigns to deliver your targeted audience what they really need or want.

We then resume all of that in one worksheet business alignment/performance tool (below) to see where you are lacking skills.

We will use/share a visual graphic mapping exercise to highlight your competencies, brand message, lead generation skills, values etc. You will learn how to identify your ideal customers and how to check on your main competitors.

We’ll then continue to look at your market analysis and draw a first report which will be then aligned with your business and campaign’s objectives. Once this stage is completed, we can start the implementation planning aspect showing you where to prioritise.

In other words – how and when you’ll get there, who will do what and when. We wait until the project is up and running, then control and draw first conclusions. These steps can save you up to 2-3 months. Bear in mind that these are just high-level stages giving you an idea how it all works together.

What is included?

A bespoke digital marketing strategy plan will include: market research, how to go about content marketing, SEO, tactical implementation etc. We will also run through a quick Web content management system exercise as well. This part of the workshop is useful but also needed to boost confidence and knowledge.

You will get a one-day fast-paced workshop. At the end of which you will have developed good understanding of tactical and operational positioning, but also content marketing channel promotion.

Digital Marketing Framework

I will present and work around the S.O.S.T.A.C  framework** – along with my own interpretations and adaptations.

Often entrepreneurs think that they know how to or can tackle everything in their path. They often handle marketing strategy, sales, tactical implementation, outbound marketing etc.

Let’s say few people can do that. Yet, digital marketing is evolving fast and we will assume that you need a solid framework to start with. Of course, we’ll assess your skills, priorities and focus on strategy and tactical implementation after.

(*) Example: Freemium business model – When selecting this model, you’ll offer the initial service at no cost to the end-user. This is a great way to introduce the basic-level service free of charge and start building relationships with prospects. They will become customers when you introduce them to paid services at later stage. Did you know that Spotify started as a freemium business model?

(**) S.O.S.T.A.C (is a digital marketing planning model developed by Paul Smith).
