Target Marketing
If you’ve always thought you understood marketing, but something’s not quite adding up, we can help. It’s rare to find a marketing agency willing to teach you what they know. But we will.
We can teach you the basics and you can carry on with the rest yourself. It’s not rocket science. Really.
But, if you’re not sure, we can support you with mentoring, so you can check in with us when you need a confidence boost.
Spring 2011 Schedule in Planning
We're happy to take requests and have already been asked to run Networking: Get Results, Effective Marketing on a Budget and Writing Copy that Sings.
If there's anything else you'd like to see on the schedule, let us know
We can also arrange bespoke training tailored around your business needs and are happy to run the training onsite, if you have a team that needs a refresher. If you're not sure what you need, call us and we'll help you work it out.

Why Advertising Doesn't Work
It’s for anyone who needs to make decisions about budget, sales, promotions, marketing (although maybe they don’t know it!), business strategy. Anyone, really.
It’s your business – you do everything
Take a break! You probably don’t have as much time for marketing as you’d like. You know you should be doing something but you’re not quite sure how and it feels like a minefield.
We can teach you the basics, so you’re not afraid to ask for help, or you can even do some of it yourself. Let’s talk.
You don’t “do” marketing, but you’ve heard about it
You could be the managing director of a business, the purchasing manager, the sales executive, accounts controller, human resources assistant. You know it exists, but you’re not quite sure why. What you're sure about is that it costs money!
“Very useful information presented in a really clear way” Extending Your Brand |
If you want to know what all the fuss is about we can give you an Introduction to Marketing training session. Dispel all the myths – you never know, you might even enjoy it and want to know more!
What can you learn?
We can show you how to approach marketing, so you can plan and implement basic marketing programmes yourself and know when they are and are not working.
Of course, just because you’ve had a training course with us, it doesn’t mean we won’t speak any more! We can still have a chat over a drink and if you need us to don our capes, crusader-style, we can!
A Bit of Both
A less dramatic way of forging ahead alone is by combining a training session with mentoring so you can keep yourself on track with some guidance from us. A lot of our clients choose this option, as it keeps doors open and tends to keep the motivation going.
“Very interesting multi-faceted approach to marketing and thought provoking about how to understand your customer and their needs” Target Marketing |
The best thing is for us to have a chat about what you do/ don’t know and what you want/ don’t want to know. Then we can prepare the best session(s) for you.

Mentoring
This is an interesting one. Mentoring can work in a number of ways...
You are the marketer
If you get lumbered with all the marketing and you’re not 100% sure of the latest techniques, opportunities or you just want to run an idea past someone, we can help.
You have a marketer already
If you have a marketer or two in your business, but you don’t think they’re quite sticking their necks out, we can help them take the occasional educated risk and challenge their thinking, so you're getting newer, better results from your activity.
You have a team which is not performing
It’s hard to face, but it can happen. You might be in between managers, the wrong person's in charge of the team (ouch!), or you might be getting used to each other still. Whatever the reason, this happens.
We can mentor your team with onsite meetings, or remotely by phone and email, but the point is, there’s someone there keeping an eye on them. We can provide management support and mentoring to re-motivate the team and get them back on track, working out goals and objectives for each team member and providing support as the business turns a corner.

Between us, we can establish the problem and work out the best solution. We can create a programme of challenges and milestones, how frequently we need to speak and how best to work together to achieve them.
