Executive Seminar
"Winning with Limited Marketing
Resources: Maximizing the True Cost of Marketing (TCM)"
TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 2002
By Mr. Mr. Ross Halleck, President, Halleck &
By Mr. Ian Cheeseman, President, LVA Corporate Communications
4:00 - 6:00 p.m. Reception follows. Invitation-only.
Limit: 40 participants.
This invitation-only Executive Seminar, in conjunction with Halleck
(one of the Center's Knowledge Network Partners) and LVA Corporate
Communications, focuses on providing marketing executives with the
appropriate tools to be able to:
Calculate total cost of marketing
(TCM).
Reduce TCM cost.
Increase the strength of marketing
efforts for competitive advantage.
Build stronger customer relationships
through a consistent and persistent brand experience.
Participants will also learn:
The latest market
development -- Integrated Marketing Groups (IMG) -- and why it is
important.
How to continue to get the best
from your limited marketing staff and resources.
Marketing budgets
are being slashed, internal marketing professionals are being eliminated
to reduce head count, and the competition is getting fiercer. Traditional
advertising agencies have a limited focus with a bias toward specific
media, yet, freelance and independent talent requires tighter management
by internal resources that do not exist. Marketing in this environment
requires an understanding of TCM to be successful. In fact, the
only survivors will be those who affect the greatest effectiveness
and efficiency in communicating their value proposition.
During the previous
boom economy, trend was to hire the best of breed in all disciplines
of marketing services. The return on those investments, especially
in today's economy, cast doubt on the wisdom of this course. With
the plethora of media choices on the part of companies, not to speak
of the overwhelming selection of brands available in every category
in B2C and B2B, selecting multiple agencies creates tremendous managerial
challenges, not to mention tremendous waste and overlap.
An IMG can provide
a company with a non-biased approach to the right mix of media for
greatest impact and return for its marketing dollar. Incorporating
strategic services (positioning and brand strategy), PR, interactive
graphics, Web site development, and advertising, an IMG can take
a marketing strategy from concept to execution in record time. More
importantly, having each component of the media mix align with and
support the others, builds stronger brands and drives greater ROI.
