This course covers the fundamentals of strategic marketing and shows how to leverage them in the age of digital channels. Many distributors are caught up in the technology race but lack a market-based strategy to ensure that their investments pay off. In this course you will learn how to use data and customer insight to deliver the right value propositions to the right customers, using the right channels. The content is based on the instructor’s extensive experience with world-class distributors and manufacturers.
