One hundred is such a powerful, wonderful number – a perfect score, an anniversary worth celebrating, a heritage that may seem like a lifetime.
I praise God for that gift of longevity! Mansmith is celebrating the 107th public run of my Marketing Strategy and Plans (MSP) program on September 16, 27, 28, 29, 30, 2022
9:00AM – 12:00PM
Right to Win, Play to Win:
I have been changing the content little by little that a past participant would not recognize the same seminar a few years after. In celebration of my 100th public batch, ‘Marketing Strategy and Plans’, the longest-running marketing strategy seminar in the Philippines will be reinvented with ALL NEW cases with a new title ‘Right to Win, Play to Win: The Best of Marketing Decision Making’.
I will be introducing a new Right to Win, Play to Win quadrant to help marketers, business owners and executives determine where they are, and what they can do. In the process of preparing a marketing strategy to win in the marketplace, I will share practical ways to choose the appropriate marketing strategy instead of costly trial-and-error.
Marketing Choice Architect:
I envision marketers to think like architects, designing a solid foundation first before hyping on a campaign.
Marketing choice architecture, or carefully designed decision options in which marketers make choices, will be introduced in order to help marketers be updated and simplify their decision making by using the right tools, criteria, templates and frameworks as choice architects in formulating and executing the right marketing strategies and tactics to attain a three-way strategic win.
5 Inter-related Marketing Topics:
I will be sharing five different but inter-related topics relevant to contemporary marketing.
All New Cases:
I have also prepared dozens and dozens of cases, both classic and contemporary, local and international, to help learning. At the end of each topic will be reflection exercises to apply learning.
Cases from the following countries shall be shared generously: Philippines, Brazil, Germany, India, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, UK, USA.
Target Audience:
I personally designed this for all existing and aspiring marketers who would like to review or master marketing.
For me, marketing should not be limited to the marketing department. Top management must understand marketing before approving the budget. They will find this a refreshing break from their routines.
It is best to bring the entire team for immediate alignment. There is a 5+1 team discount and they shall be seated together for immediate application of the learnings to their company’s situation for on-the-spot mentoring.
Seminar Outline:
I am sharing the new outline way ahead of time. You can email info@mansmith.net or log on to www.mansmith.net to enroll directly. If you have attended MSP before and would like to attend this ‘Right to Win, Play to Win’ version, please mention this in your email so you can get a free gift.
