Your Marketing Plan as Your Communications Foundation

Presenter:
Pamela Conine, CPSM, Senior Consultant with Shaffer Creative
Tuesday, July 21, 2020, 2–3:30 p.m. EDT/1 p.m. CDT/Noon MDT/11 a.m. PDT

Session Description

As marketers, we often feel like our efforts are constantly reactive. We’re handed RFQs and RFPs that we didn’t know were coming. We’re asked to post on social media just “to get our name out there.” And all of it seems random without any plan behind it.

In this webinar, our presenter will give you the planning and measurement tools to maintain focus and keep your firm’s eye on the ultimate result. We take a different approach to building a realistic marketing plan by discussing seven key steps: Discovery, Ideation, Goals, Strategy, Tactics, Analysis, and Refinement. By following these steps, you and your firm will become more proactive, be able to evaluate efforts, learn how to make improvements, and start to celebrate successes.

Session Learning Objectives

During our July webinar, participants will:

Learn how to set specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely (SMART) goals
