Course Summary
Marketing campaigns aren’t as simple as they may first appear. You need to identify your target audience, discover their interests and habits and place innovative and creative advertisements in front of them using a marketing platform they are most likely to access.
This, coupled with the rapidly changing markets and ever-developing products, means that, as a marketer, you really need to stay on top of the marketing trends and methods to increase your conversion.
Strategic marketing isn’t about placing an advert globally, hoping to attract enough interested customers. It’s about looking to the future and understanding where the market is going. You’ll need to analyse the best marketing platforms, utilise available user data, and create marketing plans ahead of time to bring in new customers, attract clients and stakeholders, and upsell new products to existing customers to keep them interested.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand your target demographic and their marketing needs.
- Analyse the best platforms, times, and contact methods to convert your audience.
- Familiarise yourself with your competition and assess their marketing strategy.
- Use different effective communication styles for different persona types to segment your audience.

- Review your results and amend plans to increase conversion.
- Test marketing strategies using A/B testing plans to secure the right fit for your business.
