Analysis of today's societal context leads managers to reflect on their approach to selling products or services to their target markets. In a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) economic situation, new paradigms need to be observed and assimilated. Rushed into an unprecedented interdependence between globalization, the digital age and changing mentalities, marketing is now actively positioning itself as a strategic pillar of the company.

However, the vocation of marketing remains unchanged: to achieve its objectives through an in-depth study of its environment, its competitors and its target clientele. These factors guide the strategic actions that need to be organized at several levels. Capitalizing on this accurate understanding of the market and the psychology of the user itself, you'll study the keys and tools for developing a strategy in line with your objectives. Whether B2B or B2C, analysis, targeting and communication are the key words of this program, which will open the door to unsuspected opportunities.

Learning objectives

  1. Identify your organization's expectations and formulate an effective user-targeted strategy using traditional tools.
  2. Combine the variables of the marketing mix to optimize your strategy on several levels, from research to market implementation.
  3. Take a stand on your own brand and communicate it in an exemplary and attractive way to reflect a loyalty-building image.

Target audience

  1. All managers and directors of SMEs and start-ups wishing to implement a marketing strategy adapted to today's challenges.
  2. Marketing directors and managers wishing to update their knowledge and share it with other professionals.
  3. Anyone involved in a reconversion or professional development process.
