Strategic Marketing (5-days) online course

This intensive course provides marketing professionals with a focused, practical foundation in strategic marketing. Designed to sharpen strategic thinking and improve planning effectiveness, the programme equips participants with the tools and frameworks needed to make smarter, more impactful marketing decisions. The course begins by examining the science behind marketing performance, drawing on evidence-based insights into customer behaviour and growth drivers. Participants will then explore key strategic frameworks, including the marketing mix and customer experience integration, before moving into campaign and planning disciplines — covering the full customer journey from awareness to action. Through targeted sessions on segmentation, targeting, and positioning, participants will learn how to define and prioritise audiences, tailor messaging, and establish a clear and differentiated market position. The final session focuses on reviewing key learnings, identifying strategic priorities, and outlining practical next steps for implementation within participants’ own roles and organisations. The programme is interactive and application-focused, combining expert input with group exercises and case-based discussion. Participants will leave with greater clarity, renewed confidence, and a clear plan for applying strategic marketing principles in their day-to-day work.
