22. Conclusion
Marketing has helped resolve the issues the client faced at the
beginning of 2016.
At the same time, the client has gone from having fragmented,
uncoordinated, inconsistent messaging to communications that
are consistent, regular, coordinated and effective.
This gives the client a stronger, more authoritative and more
persuasive voice in the industry, making it more relevant and
attractive to clients, employees and stakeholders.
