There’s a new growth imperative shaping the future of marketing and many companies face a capability gap. It has been brilliantly brought to life in the book The Growth Drivers by Andy Bird & Mhairi McEwan. It has greatly influenced a program that I present called FAME that outlines the personnas, tools and frameworks that enable Marketing Excellence to occur in your organization.
In conjunction I work with organisations at a much deeper level to embed marketing capability across the entire business via the FAME WAY. This is where we up-skill capabilities, develop winning processes and build future marketing leaders. The Growth Drivers outlines that Marketers are just as important as Markets & Marketing in the Transformation equation.
It amazes me in my Learning travels with Big Corporates that there is an assumption that all Marketers have ‘black belt’ excellence. These same corporates will invest $$millions into sales capability but zero into marketing capability. “They have been to University”. In FAME, we aim to help business and marketing leaders reach a new, deeper appreciation of the role of key, inter-related drivers of sustainable, profitable, demand-led growth. In particular the role Marketing Capability plays in creating consumer value and demand led growth.
We are experiencing a time of unparalleled change, transforming the way we live, learn, communicate and collaborate. Growing customer expectations and the impact of technology have dramatically changed the operating landscape for organisations and brands.
The winning organisations will be those that continue to lift their marketing capabilities: equipping marketers to build insights into customers’ needs, build purposeful brands and engage people across the organisation to deliver a valued customer experience.
Bearing this in mind the FAME Propeller outlines 14 modules that every marketer should undertake.
The FAME Propeller provides a framework that outlines the key drivers of marketing effectiveness and therefore helps defines the role of Marketer’s in practice. In so doing it identifies the core capabilities that Marketers need to drive sustainable, profitable, demand-led growth. This does not mean that every individual Marketer needs to excel at all these areas, but that any organisation aspiring to be world class at Marketing needs to consider how well it performs as a whole against the FAME Propeller.
