Course overview
What Is Leadership in Marketing?
Leadership in marketing is the skill of shaping where marketing goes and inspiring the team that gets it there. Participants move beyond managing tasks to steering strategy, covering consumer behaviour and research, brand voice, plans and spending, creative risk-taking, collaboration between departments and the analytics that show which initiatives pay off.
Interactive sessions, real-world case studies and practical exercises let participants define a brand voice, plan targeted campaigns and interpret performance data for the competitive markets where marketing leaders in Indonesia work.
Tailored to the nuances of the Indonesian market, the course gives aspiring and seasoned marketing professionals the leadership skills to drive innovation, foster creativity and achieve strategic objectives. Participants explore digital marketing trends, social media strategies and data-driven decision-making, and learn to steer their organisations towards sustainable growth and competitive advantage.
