Invest in the power of your marketing team

The most valuable asset in your business is your people. Help them become the most effective marketers they can be with the Mini MBA in Marketing and Brand Management.

Overview

Individually, the Mini MBA is about becoming the best marketer you can be. Collectively, it’s about creating a common language.

It’s about creating a marketing culture, a common process and a common understanding that resonates among your teams, a culture that is theirs and a culture they can be proud of. Marketing is simple at its core, but the many approaches, methodologies and languages often cause a disconnect between teams and organisations. Understand not just how to do marketing properly, but why.

The Mini MBA seeks to unite teams through a shared ideology – a well-trodden path of marketing and brand management that ensures an effective, top-to-bottom approach.

  • Is there a particular order?
    • Not necessarily.

      There are several dozen students who have done the brand course first and then the marketing one second. It can be done in this way and still work well, but the ideal sequence would be marketing then brand for a well trained team.

  • How can I customise my teams' training?
    • Work with our training team to customise your program, from branding the learning journey to adding additional features and even building your very own bespoke program. Tailor your experience with the following ad-ons to make it just perfect:

      1. Put your stamp on it – customise the Mini MBA platform with your branding.
      2. Meet Mark – train your team by the man himself, both online or in person, depending on your needs.
      3. Make it your own – create content, modules and platform features specific to your company requirements, the industry you’re in and the team you’re part of.
  • How to get the most out of the course?
    • By preserving a consistent business-wide approach to marketing, the Mini MBA provides a way to onboard new team members and upskill established ones to ensure everyone has the same fundamental knowledge.

      • Study together – create internal teams to study and discuss the modules. Prepare questions on each module and ask Mark directly in the course live (you will be invited by the course training team to put forward question to Mark to be answered within the interactive online Q&As).
      • Time it – diarise regular meetings within your group to collectively go through the videos. Discuss and challenge the learnings within a safe environment; place the learnings into your own business.
      • Build a leader board – praise your top learners and launch an internal competition on who is on track with the modules. A bit of healthy competition has never hurt anyone.
      • Monitor performance – receive regular reports on your team’s progress. Keep track of individual’s activity and module progression.
  • How much does a team/bespoke training cost?
    • For group bookings we have price tiers based on volume, please get in touch with our training advisors at training@marketingweek.com for more information.
