A marketing director's toolbox

Strategy textbooks and the marketing literature contain thousands of models for deciding your approach. I use just nine.

These nine tools - from strategy, economics, marketing, and finance - help define your business landscape in concrete charts and numbers: a chunk of consultancy to back up decisionmaking. The first three are about your market; the second trio about your customers; and the third about your business. Each informs others, linking different datasets into a meaningful matrix of information.

The offer: I'll do this nine-way analysis for you, creating a solid base for further activity. Contact me to learn more.
