The Marketing Meeting You Never Had

Most organizations have never held a meeting to announce that their branding, marketing and web efforts will be "henceforth subjugated to low priority." They've never huddled up to strategize about how to launch milktoast logos, outdated websites and apologetic brochures.

Absurd as that may seem, many organizations are in effect accomplishing the same result (milktoast logos, outdated websites and apologetic brochures) by not making their communications a priority. With no plan, no structure and no accountability, they fail to groom referral channels, explore new markets and maintain good relations with existing customers.

Needless to say, this lack of direction takes an incalculable toll over time on an organization. Unconsciously leaving opportunity on the table, years later they look back and can only wonder what conversations were had with other vendors that should have belonged to them. 

...is paved with good intentions

With gusto, many businesses and non-profits "kinda commit" to their marketing initiatives, skipping over the fundamental and critical infrastructure communications, diving straight into marketing initiatives that are doomed to mediocrity before they ever take shape. The time, money and opportunity cost of these half-baked efforts is crippling over time. The process is not held accountable, and subsequently no one drives the marketing forward.

Sound familiar?
