Principles

Marketing planning allows an organisation to bring together all the elements of marketing, to provide a clear direction and focus based on analysis and insight. This course is designed to help you write better marketing plans by providing a clear framework, taking you step-by-step through the marketing planning process. This is a highly interactive workshop and we will be applying the principles to a case situation throughout the day to help reinforce your learning. You will take away a marketing plan framework in four pages, making application easier back at work.
