Why choose this training?
Business professionals and owners are facing many challenges in incorporating and integrating their business development and marketing campaigns. They need to understand that marketing cannot be a standalone activity, and it takes a lot to plan activities and stitch online together with offline to create an effective strategy.
The consumer in this digital age expects companies to be creative and personalized with their messaging, to deliver through the channel that they want, at the exact moment they want it. So how can companies keep their strategy updated when their focus (potential client) is a moving target? This course reflects the need for practicable responses to the most common challenges facing companies in grappling with digital challenges and opportunities.
Used by professionals across the world, SOSTAC® was voted in The Top 3 Business Models worldwide by the Chartered Institute of Marketing’s Centenary Poll. Since then, SOSTAC® has been adopted by blue chips including Linkedin, KPMG, Not-For-Profit organisations including Greenpeace, hundreds of SMEs and Start-Ups around the world, as well as University Courses and the Chartered Institute of Marketing’s professional courses across the world. SOSTAC® Certified Planner is approved by the CPD Standards Office UK.
