Course overview
What Is Leadership in Marketing?
Leadership in marketing is the ability to decide where marketing should take the organisation and to lead the team that gets it there. The course helps participants step up from executing campaigns to directing strategy: researching consumers and competitors, managing the brand, planning budgets and timelines, fostering creativity, working with sales and product colleagues, and judging performance by its metrics.
Interactive sessions, case studies and real-world examples have participants position a brand, prepare briefs and interpret performance metrics for the competitive markets marketing leaders in Iran operate in.
Whether they lead a marketing department or an agency team, participants in Iran build the leadership skills to inspire their people, foster creativity and turn strategy into results in a fast-moving, competitive field.
