DO GREAT THINGS + MORE
+ STRATEGY
Applying marketing research and analyses when developing strategies is my strength. I challenge myself and others to take the time to create strategies based on logical learnings and resources before jumping into 'the fun part' of marketing planning, branding and execution.
As a ‘curiously logical’ leader, I find that developing strong marketing strategies is dependent on asking several ‘why?’ questions: Why is Market A more viable for expansion than other markets? Why is this new product feature important to our target consumer? Why focus solely on customer acquisition strategies, what about the base? A strong strategy based on sound questioning leads to great things + more!
