Additional Info

Marketing has become quite a complicated and comprehensive domain. To build a truly successful marketing campaign, a lot of factors should be considered and many specialists should be involved. But none of those efforts would make sense without a thorough, well-thought-out, and detailed strategy, resulting in a clear plan, which will then be executed.

To create a marketing strategy and plan, you cannot simply go to the web and copy and paste someone’s else tactics. You have to be an experienced and well-educated marketing specialist, and you have to obtain the necessary qualification and skills for yourself.

Fortunately, there is an optimal solution to help you master your marketing planning and strategy development in one go with the help of the Atton Institute’s “Certificate in Marketing Strategy and Planning” training course.

As a modern marketer, you’re required to analyze, compare, and make conclusions based on numbers and the results of conducted tests, but simultaneously, you also have to be creative in order to develop an extraordinary and effective strategy and plan. This might sound a bit contradictory, but it is the only path to success that has proved its effectiveness time and time again over our numerous years of practice and experience. This is the approach that we use in this marketing strategy course.

Achieving success with your marketing strategy lies in finding the right flow, which you will learn through this marketing planning course:

Marketing Strategy + Marketing Plan + Implementation = Success;

  • Strategy answers the question, “What should be done?” It correlates with the values and goals of the company. It is the point that differentiates winners from losers, because it is here that you decide (1) who your customers are and (2) what you should do to reach and satisfy them. These are the two most important questions you can ask and will determine 50% of your success.
  • The plan answers to the question, “How should you do it?” It is directly related to the strategy and consists of a detailed explanation of tools and techniques that will help you to stand out against the competition.
  • Implementation is the phase when you put strategy and plan together and your ideas come to life. It’s also the point at which this marketing strategy training course can only equip you with advice and tips, because the work must be done by you!

The key to success is in the sequence of the three elements in the above-mentioned formula. Most marketers get pulled into a trap and start buying paid advertising, ordering expensive brochures, and paying bloggers even before they’ve determined their strategy and plan. The desire to start doing anything simply to avoid being inactive is is tempting, but tricky, and often has negative effects.

The Marketing Strategy and Planning course from Atton will teach you how to avoid the most common mistakes by implementing the best tactics from around the world, used by the most respected and powerful companies. You’ll learn how to master all the tools necessary for developing an impeccable strategy and flawless plan.
