TRAINING & CAPABILITY

Marketing teams, HR, Capability Managers, Training Directors, Learning & Development Managers, Marketing Bodies… As Marketing becomes the leading function to drive business growth, changes in consumer trends, technology and organisational structure (to name only a few) may require you to address skills gaps and invest in your organisational culture.

This could include: change management, internal comms, leadership skills for management, in-house training, capability frameworks and cultural alignment.

As accredited trainers and coaches, we can help you identify skills gaps and build a process, recruit a team or create training programmes to ensure your teams are motivated and your organisation has the capabilities to succeed.

We can also help you to build capability frameworks to define the role of your marketing function within your organisation, roles and responsibilities, assess skills levels, identify gaps, create bespoke training programmes and provide targeted support for individuals in your team through mentoring and coaching.

We care about the people behind businesses as much as delivering the business objectives themselves. We want them to feel empowered, confident and love what they do, and we can help you to bring that to life.

OUR CORE SERVICES ARE:

Bring the plans to life

Having written the strategy or as stand-alone ‘step change projects’* we can lead key initiatives to deliver growth from building innovation pipelines, brand positioning, to finding you new agency partners. (*What we like to call ‘step-change’ projects; making significant, positive change for your business).

Brand Planning

Through our Brand Planning Refreshed programme we can provide an external view/new insight, stretch your thinking as part of your existing process, or establish a new process – take the headache away and set up a new way.

Build market leading marketing teams

From setting the vision for the marketing, to defining the competencies and capabilities that will deliver this through a clear and motivating capability framework. We can help you embed this with your organisation by setting job specs, role profiles, assessment audits and training to close the gaps. Plus formalise internal processes to bring these competencies to life.

Training & Capability

We can train you and your teams as a stand-alone project or programme to support the team with the technical and also soft skills to deliver the required work streams or change. Our accredited trainers train across the spectrum from marketing strategy to digital marketing and KPI’s and ROI.

Coaching and Mentoring

We’ll give you the headspace and/or advice you need to take the strategy or projects forward to tackle day-to-day internal politics, brand challenges or situations. Or even time for you to think about what’s next for you or your team. We are at the end of phone, whatsapp, Zoom or face to face, whenever you need us.
