MarketingforCEOs
We help CEOs make smarter marketing decisions.
At Marketing for CEOs, we deploy a unique framework called the 9Boxes. It’s a structured framework that helps SMBs build their strategic marketing capability.
We believe that for too long, SMBs have been let down by a tactical approach to marketing. Most SMBs operate without a market strategy and are continually wasting money on ad hoc tactics.
OUR VALUES
We educate
We use our skills and our framework to educate business leaders.
We help them to make better decisions and have control of their business growth.
We give confidence
We are confident in our strategic marketing expertise and what we offer our stakeholders. We share our ideas and knowledge to help ourselves and our stakeholders to grow. We work with our stakeholders to give them confidence in their decision-making process.
We are provocative
We create conversations that lead to change with respect and thoughtfulness.
We challenge our stakeholders to think beyond the normal to the development and transformation of their marketing capability, exceeding their expectations.
OUR VISION
Redefining the way Marketing functions
in the SMB business planning process.
Our vision is for the 9Boxes to become the global language of marketing, using a data-driven tool that drives performance, creating transparency and accountability to make marketing investment work harder.
