Overview
An advanced course for senior marketers and other professionals seeking to lead in marketing-related finance at a corporate level. This course will help delegates talk to finance on their own terms and derive greater value from the relationship between finance and marketing functions.
The course starts from the premise that there is often a mismatch in agenda between today’s marketing leaders and finance teams. Delegates will explore how marketers can contribute to solving strategic marketing challenges in a way that includes a finance perspective, moving the relationship from ‘confrontation to collaboration’.
Who should attend?
This is a course for those in marketing leadership roles, who believe they should seize the initiative through a greater understanding of the finance function, how it operates, and how it can be managed to deliver greater value to the marketing function. The themes explored will be relevant to those in any size or maturity of organisation and any category.
