2. Dear Marketing Professional,
It seems that every year, the field of marketing reinvents itself. The impact of technology on the practice has
changed our understanding of audiences and options for successful outreach. Yet, the same question remains:
How do we measure the effectiveness of our advertising and justify budgets? The field of engagement opens the
door for new ways of looking at audiences and advertising efficacy. Engagement in the marketing world lacks a
universal definition, but the American Strategic Management Institute (ASMI) defines it as an emotional connection
to advertising, often precipitated by its context, that yields a measurable positive impact on brand sentiment and
purchase intent.
ASMI designed this Online Marketing Engagement Training as the first step in identifying, designing and
promoting engagement programs and, most importantly, measuring their affect on revenue. The old idea of reach
as a primary measure of audience value is not longer adequate as marketers prove that fragmentation in marketing
audiences elevates segmentation as a key strategy—and now we have a way to measure and manage this concept.
Measuring Impacts on Attitude and Behavior
Certainly, the role of marketing is to positively impact the bottom line of an organization. Yet, most marketing
includes several intermediate outcomes that can predict the future performance of brands. Use this training to
design dashboards that measure affects on both attitude and behavior to better understand the campaign elements
that lead to success.
Understanding the Role of Creative
Testing and Measurement gives us the information we need to make decisions as marketers, but one area of
marketing remains elusive in replication: creativity. While it is not impossible to quantify the impact of design, the
role of creativity is a recognized, but unpredictable, part of marketing. Learn to embrace and communicate the
value of creativity in your marketing efforts, and foster a culture that seeks innovation.
Communicating Engagement as a Primary Strategy
Marketing and Communication Strategy must align with and inform organizational strategic planning, just as other
functions contribute to future success. Developing senior stakeholder buy-in at your organization for engagement
efforts helps your management centralize the role of the customer, a shift necessary for success in the highly-
customized marketplace.
We hope you will join us in January for Online Engagement Marketing, where we will share insights and give
you tools to develop your own innovative engagement programs. Our experts will lead you through the latest
developments in this emerging field and make you a true marketing leader.
Best Regards,
Nicole Cathcart

In House Training
One of the more popular vehicles for accessing the Institute’s educational offerings is the delivery of
on-site trainings and management facilitations. Bringing a training or facilitation in-house gives you
the opportunity to customize a program that addresses your exact challenges and provides a more
personal learning experience, while virtually eliminating travel expenses. Whether you require training
for a small group or for an organizational-wide initiative, the advanced learning methods employed
by the Institute will create an intimate training atmosphere that maximizes knowledge transfer to
enhance the talent within your organization.
CUSTOMIZATION
We realize that not all obstacles can be overcome by applying an “off-the-shelf solution”. While many
training providers will offer you some variation of their standard training, the Institute’s subject matter
experts will work with you and your team to examine your programs and determine your exact areas
of need. The identification of real life examples will create a learning atmosphere that resonates with
participants while at the same time providing immediate return on your training investment. Using
interactive exercises that employ actual projects or scenarios from your organization, instructors
can address specific challenges and align the curriculum of each session to your objectives. While
the majority of on-site trainings are focused on smaller groups, the Institute also has the ability to
accommodate |organizational-wide training initiatives. Utilizing multiple instructors, the Institute has
the capacity to deliver courses to groups of up to 300 participants per day.
