A tactical marketing approach in which marketing teams collectively identify high-value projects on which to focus their collective efforts.
How consumers connect and interact with brands has changed dramatically. In order for marketers to be part of this evolved world, the marketing operations model must evolve, with data and better connected consumer connections at its core. Allowing brands to be where the consumers are, talking with them rather than just to them and reacting and interacting with current topics, is vital. This means agility in the marketing process is needed to respond to consumer needs in real-time.
At its very best, process design can realise the full potential of marketing teams, enabling all team members (internal and external) to follow the same steps to deliver key activities, ensuring optimal speed, resourcing and transparency. At its worst, process design can tie-up marketers in bureaucratic knots and constrain creativity.
Flock’s Marketing Process Design will ensure your marketing team have ways of working that bring out the best in them.
