Course overview
What Is Leadership in Marketing?
Marketing leadership is the work of guiding a marketing function as well as running it: choosing where the brand should compete, steering the team that carries the plan out and judging what each campaign achieves. The course takes participants from brand development to digital channels, covering customer research, positioning, budgets, creative direction, cross-functional work and analytics.
Interactive workshops, case studies and realistic simulations let participants draft positioning, brief a team and test campaign figures, using the kinds of markets and customers marketing leaders in Eritrea deal with.
Seasoned marketing managers and aspiring leaders in Eritrea work side by side on the questions that shape a marketing function: where the brand should go, how the team is led and how results are judged. Each idea is tested on the plans, campaigns and teams participants bring with them.
Why it matters
Why Marketing Leadership Matters in Eritrea
Organisations in Eritrea, like those everywhere, need marketing that reaches the right customers and earns its budget. Leaders who plan with care, guide creative teams well and judge campaigns on evidence help their organisations grow.
Standing out
Competition is fierce, and a distinctive brand story is often what tips a customer’s decision.
Knowing the customer
Research into real customer behaviour keeps spending away from hunches.
Proving value
Leaders who can show what each campaign achieved keep the backing of senior management.
Keeping pace
Leaders who embrace new channels help Eritrea’s organisations reach customers and grow.
The Knowles leadership approach
From Insight to Impact
Participants learn a six-step loop, from studying the customer to adjusting the next campaign, that a marketing lead can use for one launch or for a whole year of activity.
