MARKETING STRATEGY AND ANALYTICS CONSULTING

ANALYTICS and DATA VISUALIZATION

Marketing decisions must be rooted in data. Accessing the data, selecting the right metrics and setting decision criteria are crucial, and providing a way to communicate those Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) helps to gain alignment. Once the business objectives are established and the right data is accessed, appropriate analytical methods and models can be applied.

Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning: Surveys, Factor/Component Analysis, Cluster Analysis, Value Proposition Design

Loyalty and Customer Retention: Churn Forecasting, Geometric Modeling

New Product Forecasting: Prototype/Proxy Modeling, Cannibalization, Channel Growth

B2B MARKETING

The business challenges that can arise in B2B are unique: channels are unclear, less data is available and messaging requires a different tone and objective from consumer-facing communications. You need an outside resource to provide an objective view and help your team get past roadblocks using best marketing practices. With over 20 years' experience in B2B marketing of goods and services,  I'm available for short-term projects and longer-term consulting engagements.

PRODUCT MARKETING

As a classically trained marketer, I bring disciplined skills in marketplace insights and analytics, marketing planning and communication, and new product development. Product Marketing involves Sales,  Finance and IT as much as it does R&D, Operations and Customer Service, and getting the best of cross-functional collaboration requires broad and deep experience across industries.

INNOVATION and NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH

I can help you establish the right process for ideation, prototyping, testing, positioning and go-to-market implementation that will enable you to harness your organization's capabilities and maximize their value in the marketplace. I can provide insight to processes that will optimize speed to market, as well as lead team workshops to catalyze concept generation, define the value proposition and target customers.
