6 month CMO

™

Efforts are good. Output is great. But what matters is outcome.

That’s why I built a structured, time-bound, outcome-based plan to set you up for brand and business growth.

The timeframe is not a non-negotiable, it just helps both parties to be more organised.

Why 6 months?

Brand is a perception in the mind of the customer. A perception built from all the experiences he/she has with the brand, including a random conversation overheard in a lift. How do you influence that? By being clear about the perception you want to drive, and then activating it through various touchpoints.

So it’s not just about one big TV ad or a PR plan or a performance marketing campaign. It’s about structuring a narrative that tells the story coherently to the audience that matters to you. 6 months is the minimum to gauge effectiveness and efficiency, and make it repeatable and scalable.
