Course overview
What Is Leadership in Marketing?
Leadership in marketing is the skill of setting a direction for marketing and bringing a team with you to deliver it. The course helps marketers step up from running activities to leading strategy: researching customers and markets, defining the brand, planning and budgeting, leading creative people, working with other departments and using analytics to judge results.
Interactive workshops, case studies and practical assignments have participants researching audiences, writing briefs and reading campaign analytics, with scenarios drawn from the markets marketing leaders in Guyana serve.
Marketing managers, team leaders and entrepreneurs in Guyana learn to lead marketing in a fast-moving industry: researching customers properly, building a brand with a clear identity, delegating well and judging every campaign by its results.
