B2B sales prospect evaluation criteria are the filters you use to decide which accounts are worth pursuing before a single call is made. Done well, they save your sales team from burning quota on deals that were never going to close. Done poorly, or skipped entirely, they turn your pipeline into a vanity metric. Most…
Addressable advertising is a targeting approach that lets you direct media spend at specific audiences, households, or accounts rather than broad demographic segments. Instead of buying reach and hoping the right people are in it, you define who you want to reach and build your media plan around them. Done well, it closes the gap…
An outsourced marketing team is a group of external specialists, agencies, or fractional marketers who handle some or all of a company’s marketing function in place of, or alongside, an in-house team. Done well, it gives you senior-level capability without the overhead of full-time headcount. Done badly, it costs more than hiring internally and produces…
Marketplace strategy is the set of decisions that determine where you sell, how you position across channels, and how you protect margin and brand equity while doing it. Get those decisions right and marketplaces become a growth engine. Get them wrong and you end up in a race to the bottom on price, subsidising Amazon’s…
Video production and marketing is the process of creating, distributing, and optimising video content to drive measurable business outcomes, whether that means generating leads, converting prospects, or retaining customers. Done well, it connects creative decisions to commercial goals from the first frame to the final report. Most organisations have figured out that video matters. Fewer…
Estate planning marketing works when it earns trust before it asks for business. The firms that grow consistently are not the ones with the biggest ad budgets or the most polished websites. They are the ones that understand their audience well enough to have the right conversation at the right moment, and patient enough to…
Cross-functional teams in marketing operations work when everyone in the room shares a definition of success and has the authority to act on it. They fail when marketing is treated as a service desk, when data ownership is unclear, and when nobody has formally agreed on who makes the final call. Most of the dysfunction…
Moz Local and BrightLocal both manage local SEO and citation data, but they serve different operators with different needs. Moz Local is a streamlined citation management tool built for businesses that want automated distribution without much manual overhead. BrightLocal is a fuller local SEO platform with reporting, auditing, rank tracking, and reputation management layered on…
Message strategy is the discipline of deciding what to say, to whom, and why it should matter to them, before any copy gets written. It sits upstream of tone of voice, creative execution, and channel planning. Get it wrong and everything downstream is just expensive noise. Most brands skip it, or confuse it with a…
Racism in advertising is not a new problem. It is a persistent one, and the gap between brands that understand this and brands that do not has become one of the clearest signals of strategic maturity in modern marketing. The failures are not always deliberate. Many are the product of homogeneous teams, absent process, and…
