Food Ingredients
As consumers increasingly demand healthy, clean foods and supplements for everything from managing weight to preventing illnesses, food companies, food-ingredient and foodservice manufacturers are faced with many marketing dilemmas
Energy
The inundation of messages emanating from the energy industry and environmental groups is often confusing and incomplete. The issues keep mounting while the answers remain unclear. Deregulation swings like a pendulum. Accessing alternative energy remains elusive. Smart meters are everywhere, but who is being enlightened?
Education
Higher education marketing can be more perplexing than advanced physics. There’s sky rocketing tuition yet declining revenue. Fractured student audiences attached to helicopter parents. Plus, infinite constituents with as many demands.
Healthcare
Healthcare marketing is all about building trust among patients, most of which don't have an immediate need for your product or service. They want to know you’re there, but prefer to keep their distance. That said… when they have a need, you need to be there in less than a nanosecond.
Financial Services
Financial services continue to be volatile. Take M&As. Or the bank du jour on every corner. One of the few constants is change. Another is that financial services remains all about building relationships. And relationships equal returns. That’s why it is so crucial to develop financial services programs that appeal to customers on both a rational and emotional level.
Retail
Today’s retail environment is fierce. To win, retailers must examine customer data as intensely as operational data. And it is you who must demonstrate unwavering loyalty to customers, not the other way around.
