Marketing Workshop and Plan Development

Step 1

Evaluate where you are now and how you are positioned in the market

From the outset it is important to ask specific questions about your business goals and values, products and services, customers and competitive environment. We will also explore your strengths/weaknesses, and what are some emerging market threats and opportunities.

Step 2

Review your current marketing material including any recent campaigns

It is also necessary to do a light review any existing marketing material, or the results of any marketing campaigns that your business has undertaken in the past few months. This is integral in putting together the best mix of marketing elements for the year ahead.

Areas such as research, strategy, record keeping and customer relationship management tools will also be evaluated during the workshop.

Step 3

Develop a tailored marketing workshop plan with key steps to meet both short term and long-term goals

We will then create a tailored marketing plan that hones in on specific areas that can deliver the biggest returns on your current marketing investment, with appropriate KPI’s so you measure each activity effectively. The final marketing plan will be presented to the key stakeholders in your business.

Post Session Review and Documentation

The workshop notes are then developed into a high-level marketing plan, typically 50 – 70 pages in length.

Your marketing plan is designed to be implemented with the help of Bright Owl Marketing and will always require a few adjustments and tweaks along the way with regular performance assessments just to make sure you’re on track. It serves as a benchmark for you to work from as we define your objectives and strategies for the year ahead. It becomes a living document for measuring sales success, lead generation, customer retention, and communication initiatives.

Cost

  • From $4,800 (ex gst) Up to 4 Hours for one marketing consultant to run the workshop. Up to 2 attendees. Suitable for Sole Traders and Micro Businesses.
  • From $6,500 (ex gst) Up to 6 Hours for two marketing consultants to run the marketing workshop. Up to 5 attendees. Suitable for small-medium sized businesses.

Brand Builder Workshop & Brand Blueprint

Building your brand for future growth

Ideal for small businesses, this 1/2 day brand building workshop will explore the essence of your brand and what it’s all about, who your target audience is, what your core message is, and what sets you apart from your competition.

The workshop is intended to position your brand by creating a framework for deciding what to do, and to align all future branding and communications. To do this we will focus on the following three key areas:

1. Branding

Branding is the process of determining your competitive advantages, developing a strategy around those advantages then communicating it clearly and consistently until it is remembered.

Key Outputs

  • Defining your target markets.
  • Understanding key customer insights and their buying needs.
  • SWOT Analysis – Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of your business, and the market in general and impacts.

2. Brand Positioning

Brand Positioning is identifying where your brand is placed within its marketplace and its relationship to alternative brands. Positioning addresses differentiating brand attributes, user benefits and target segments.

Key Outputs

  • Brand Gap Analysis – To evaluate where your brand is now and how you want it to be perceived in the future.
  • Brand Characteristics – How your brand will be delivered through its features and benefits.
  • Competitive Analysis – How do your top 3 competitors brands differ in terms of expressing their features and benefits.

3. Brand Blue Print

Your Brand Blue Print describes how your business will be remembered in the minds of their target audience. It serves as an internal document, which guides your marketing communications strategies and tactics.

Key Outputs

  • Development of umbrella messaging – To represent the high level ideas you want to convey to everyone in your target markets. It is directional messaging that represents the spirit of what we want to communicate.
  • Unique Selling Proposition (USP) – To give consumers a compelling reason to buy your products and give you that sustainable competitive advantage for a long time to come.
  • Brand Communications Guide – To develop your ‘tone of voice’ which all written material should adhere to in order to maintain a consistent style and message.

The workshop notes are used to create a brand and communication strategy document outlining the key outputs listed above.

Cost

  • From $4,800 (ex gst) – Up to 4 Hours for one marketing consultant to run the workshop. Up to 2 attendees.
  • From $5,800 (ext gst) – Up to 5 Hours for two marketing consultants to run the marketing workshop. Up to 5 attendees.

The cost is based on size and complexity of business, duration of workshop,  information required and how many people attend.

Your Brand Blueprint is a living document for aligning your brand and communication initiatives. It will serve as a template and benchmark for you to work from as we define your marketing objectives and strategies for the year ahead.

Your brand and communication strategy should be used to inform the development of your brand identity and all expressions of your business brand which include your website, signage, brochures, advertising, email newsletters, etc.

How we connect

The workshop can be conducted in 2 x 2 Hour blocks or over 4 Hours. We can meet in person at your office, a local cafe, or we are just as happy to connect via Zoom, and use Stormboard to share our ideas during the session.

Raving Fans

Marketing Consultants and Brand Strategy – Professional Associations

Dear Tess and Craig, thank you for your assistance with bringing MPA “up-to-date’ and for the time and energy you have both put into taking our organisation to the next level. We look forward to working with you again in the new year.

Marketing Workshop & Plan – Healthcare

Thank you Craig for your email follow up from our meeting last week. It was a joy to meet you in person and I really valued the time you provided and the generous sharing of your ideas. Of course, I was buzzing afterwards thinking about possibilities and trying to digest your comments. I feel like I have calmed down now and see my vision more clearly. I have also calmed about my competition and am so pleased I have found you to collaborate with to bring my vision to light, rather than trying to pit myself against the competition that beat me to it – this includes my review of the member fee and dropping the more formal aspects of advertising that I thought would be necessary.

FMCG Marketing Plan & Consulting

I would highly recommend Craig to any business looking for someone to quickly and efficiently understand their marketing needs, and translate them into an easy to follow and actionable marketing plan. We asked Craig to help us with a range of marketing initiatives including PR, social media, advertising, website and partnership marketing, and his team were truly great and enthusiastic to work with. It was great pleasure to work with someone that fully embraced our missions and values, making you feel like you have an additional dedicated member in your team.

Fitness Professional – Marketing Plan – Website Design

Craig, without you as my marketing guru I don’t think I would have ever realised the dream of having my own business. Your marketing plan really helped me map out how my services are unique and different from the competition, and it also provided me with a great sense of structure and purpose too. With so many different marketing activities to implement you were so good at helping me break it down into bite-sized chunks and make it so easy and manageable. Plus you were great whenever it all got too much and I needed a shoulder to lean on. I’m so proud of my new brand, the fantastic website you created and all that we have achieved in the short space of time. Here’s to the future! Thanks again.
