feedbacks marketing material

The company introduction takes too fast into who is your audience by a case study, this
works, but three lines on what the company actually is would have helped.
You could have mentioned how you arrived at your name earlier in your presentation. It
is a risky naming strategy, particularly if you rely on foreign phonemes.
The use of stories was good although the wasting time in traffic example was rather
inappropriate.
Comparative examples of the 'old' method compared to your new method of set design
would be extremely helpful, especially if relative time and money costs were included.
Your explanation of how you would market your service through social media
unconvincing. Perhaps WOM might be the most important marketing, but in the original
sense of the meaning, by talking to the target professionals for example attending fairs
and trade shows.
When you discuss your marketing material this becomes more clear as you mention
ads in magazines.
Very good to see a working website. Also good you found a good Ad explaining this
VR-Set. Using this ad earlier on to explain your concept could help your presentation.
Overall a great leap forward!

?

which conclusions?

- being clearer about our service and target
-defining our marketing strategy
-need more researchs about our competitors

past assessment

The nature of your business and your clients are not entirely clear.
Essentially, it seems you are a design consultancy specialising in developing and
managing visual assets eg set designs, using virtual technology. Your customers are
production companies.
This is potentially a realistic concept but you need to craft it into something that can
be communicated and understood much more easily. It would be helpful to include
some scenarios/visual demonstrating your potential services. Also, you need to
demonstrate better what customer needs your services fulfil, or what problems you
solve for them, and why they should choose you rather than competitors.
The target market you indicate (food etc) is inappropriate since you will not be selling
to these people, but rather to advertising agencies/production companies who make
ads for these people.
The advertising/marketing strategy you indicate for your company eg advertising in
cinemas, is inappropriate for the customer base you hope to attract – advertising
agencies/production companies. The research on advertising industry growth is
helpful but needs to be extended eg to film production cos etc, finding more about
the dimensions of your industry segment (set design – virtual and traditional) and
who your competitors are.
Overall, this concept would benefit from more fleshing out and teamwork to clarify
what exactly what your service offer is, to whom you are selling and why they should
buy from you rather than a competitor.
Despite the valiant attempt with the P&L and Cashflow Excel, the financials do not
stack up and have not been sufficiently well considered. Visually, the spreadsheets
could be more simply presented to aid comprehension and communication.
Overall, the business concept and its presentation lacked coherence. But the idea
has much promise so it is well worth crafting further.

Marketing presentation, thinking

there is differents steps in this présentation and i am not sure how to combine them together that is why i am trying to clarify my head.

1- company vision and values ( see above)

2- questionnaire, example of social use ( see above)

3- summarise the marketing strategy your company intends to take and why (see above)

i think we have all the material needed but how to combine them together?

Marketing strategy structure.

1 Our Position, how we aim to engage our consumers, and potential clients.
Which level, and which area.

2. Our clients position. How we can involve them in our brand, how they can experiment with our service, and how they can communicate with us.

3. Our marketing goal, develop communication with the client through networking online, feedback, competition for students, internship. We want to develop our presence online with online advertising, and in print via specialist magazines, but we will prioritise the online side to correspond to our vision on digital asset management.

4. defining our values.

5.defining our technique, listening to client feedback, having two way communications, engage with student life, the broadcast field, and become an activist in these fields by embedding ourselves in these different cultures and social groups.

6.Defining our consumer’s day, creating a profile of our intended market to understand their needs and to be able to respond to it, change tact if needed, be malleable and flexible in our approach and the inevitable change of the way consumers live. (facebook for example).

7.marketing objective. Using 80% of our advertisement budget via the online advertisement and viral. We will keep 20% free for the more traditional forms of management.

8. Create graphical representations from this data to help us understand trends as they emerge in the market.

9. Questionnaire to understand how the company is working in a more general way

10. Blog, being radically transparent (forum page, blogs) to develop trust and give them a reason to choose us or to continue their links with us

11. about feedback, our clients are going to work for us giving us feedback and developing our network by word of mouth marketing.
