THE PROGRAMME
Reinventing Marketing for Profitable Growth
This programme has been designed to help top leaders learn about new techniques of attaining
profitable growth in these dynamic, hyper-competitive times. You will be exposed to the latest
marketing practices that include generating breakthrough consumer insights, exercising the full
potential of social networks and other digital platforms, engaging customers for profitable
growth, measuring marketing programme effectiveness, and stimulating an innovative
environment within your organisation.
Programme Content:
The three-day programme will be split into two sections – marketing strategy and business
strategy – and we will examine how these two themes are inter-related.

innovation, but learn quickly from smart experiments across the globe

Market-focused culture: Share best practices for driving the voice of the customer
through the entire organisation and improving marketing staff effectiveness
