Notas do Editor

  1. REINVENT THE BRAND Brand is the sum of our audiences interactions with us. As with our strategy, which places customers at the centre of our re-invention, our brand experience must reinforce that we are focussed on helping our customers run their finance & procurement functions better Re-inventing the brand is an important step in ensuring relevance. We need to articulate that we understand our customers by shaping meaningful & distinctive experiences for them If we get this right, we differentiate ourselves from the competition, & inspire advocacy. Not just amongst our customers but amongst those audiences we wish to engage Brand is not about logo, colour palettes. Its about storytelling, how the people who we live to serve think & feel about us. It’s the representation of our business across every touchpoint that our customers & prospects have with us &, if done well will help us increase our purchase consideration TIGHTEN LINKS TO THE BUSINESS - This pillar has been established to drive the idea that marketing must run like a business, constantly measuring our activities against the achievement of Basware’s business & revenue goals - To increase marketing’s relevancy & ensure we meet our collective business goals of revenue, profitability & future growth we need to engage better with stakeholders both inside & outside our business. - We’ll focus heavily on getting the right measures of success in place, so that every person in marketing understands what they have to do, & how that contributes to our overall business goals - In doing this we’ll focus on ensuring the appropriate alignment of marketing with other relevant business functions so that we are crystal clear about what the business can expect from marketing, & what not to expect - & beyond that we’ll take greater responsibility for proactive pipeline management, ensuring that we are working more closely with our colleagues in sales & the BA’s to ensure we collectively take responsibility & actions to ensure the business has the right amount of pipeline, throughout the sales cycle to achieve our goals DEVELOP CUSTOMER DRIVEN MARKETING More than 80% of sales cycles start with a simple search. Recognising this new business paradigm, we must shift our focus from ‘selling’ to organisations to empowering individuals & organisations to buy With a radical shift in our GTM approach & an audience first mind-set we can now focus on providing answers to our customers business problems, & enabling our audiences to discover the information they need through whatever channels they choose to engage: web, apps, social or other With this consistent digital experience will make it easier to meaningfully engage with & delight customers & prospects With simplified digital assets, more intuitive online navigation & greater personalisation we’ll increase our early stage relevance in the customer decision journey & help people do business with us faster & more easily & in doing this we should be successful in capturing more interest, driving deeper engagement which in turn, creates more demand SIMPLIFY MARKETING To successfully implement our 2017 marketing strategy we will streamline our internal operations & the way we are organised In line with our vision in becoming customer obsessed we will lead with the design principle of customer driven marketing This principle will be a prominent theme in more closely linking regional & local planning & execution It is my expectation that we will agree on a small number of integrated marketing plans which will form a significant proportion of our marketing programme strategy. & we will build agile teams with representation from both local & regional marketing These teams will then plan worldwide programmes & campaigns for each integrated plan, taking on-board market unit input into content that is more pertinent to specific audiences This integration enables us to generate assets with increased relevance for our customers by focussing in their business & personal challenges & catering for their preferred way on consuming information & engaging with us As importantly, it means that our investment in content & programmes get better utilisation & drives greater engagement INVEST IN PEOPLE
