The Interplay of Marketing Communications and Business Development
Includes a Live Web Event on 10/17/2024 at 2:00 PM (EDT)
At many firms marketing and business development are considered two separate activities, often with separate staff leading them. However, smart firms recognize the interplay between the two and use each to help inform the other. This webinar will talk through the ebb and flow between marketing and business development before, during and after the pursuit process, share examples of how they have been coordinated successfully, and offer practical tips for engaging with your colleagues on the “other” side of the marketing aisle.
Learning Objectives
- Understand which parts of the BD/M effort take precedence during which phases of a project pursuit
- Recognize the ways in which each part of the BD/M team informs/supports each other
- Identify practical ways to bridge the divide to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts
