For many professional services executives the traditional strategic marketing process can feel inadequate. After all, many of the classic models were developed for advertising-driven consumer products. Professional services are quite different in their nature and how they are marketed.
In decades past, you had a limited number of channels to pick from, such as advertising, direct marketing and in-person networking. Today, you have all of those great options plus a whole new universe of online tactics — blogging, websites, web analytics, online video, webinars, email, pay- per-click, mobile marketing and many more. That’s a lot to wrap your head around!
