Instructor: N/A • Language: N/A

Master marketing fundamentals, from customer value and strategy to channels and funnels, and build a proposition your competitors cannot copy.

Description

Most beginners jump straight into advertising channels, spending a budget on telling strangers about an offer that looks exactly like everyone else's, and then wonder why the results are disappointing. This course stood out because it teaches marketing in the order the work should happen, starting with strategy, customer research, and a compelling value proposition before you ever touch a paid channel.

This Course Offers

  • A complete framework to audit and build a marketing strategy: You will learn to run a fourteen-day audit of team, channels, and effectiveness, and build a strategy using 4P, STP, and the Ansoff matrix.
  • Practical skills in customer research and value proposition design: You will learn to use Jobs to be Done and journey mapping to understand what customers actually want, and write a value proposition that competitors could not copy.
  • Knowledge of channel execution and funnel optimization: You will set up paid search, web analytics, and remarketing, find where prospects disappear in your funnel, and calculate acquisition cost against lifetime value.
  • The ability to deliberately choose a monetisation model and scale: You will learn to choose a monetisation model deliberately, understand unit economics, and use growth loops to scale effectively.
