A Few Good Marketers provides marketing creative, communications, digital and interactive services by professionals with 20+ years of agency experience.
Running a business is challenging, and there are many aspects to focus on. Marketing is an extremely important function for most businesses, as this is the way to get the word out about the company and attract new clients. However, as times change, marketing systems need to change as well. The demands from customers change quickly, there is more of a dependence on technology, and a constant social media presence is imperative.
For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), keeping up with changing marketing needs is tough, if not impossible, when relying on in-house marketing professionals. It is very challenging to find experts in all areas to launch and maintain a marketing campaign without blowing the budget out of the water. For SMBs, this is just not realistic from a manpower or financial perspective.
This is where Marketing as a Service (MaaS) comes in. It allows startups and smaller companies to execute marketing campaigns to their fullest while allowing in-house personnel to focus on the fundamental and daily business needs of the company.
ABSTRACT:
Marketing as a Service is about much more than just marketing. It is not a one-size-fits-all approach, as providers get to know and understand each business so they can meet individual needs. Businesses of all sizes should focus on what goals they want to achieve and the strategies they want to use to get there. A good MaaS company wants to dig into the business to see what platforms and tools are currently being used as well as the people and processes that can be used to drive success.
Companies that have decided to hire a Marketing as a Service provider should do some analyzing of their own operations before hiring so that they can get the best resources for their money. A good question to ask is ‘why do we need outside help?’ If SMBs can pinpoint these issues, whether it be general inefficiencies, poor client retention, missed deadlines, or poor ROI, they will be able to get more out of a MaaS.
In this masterclass we will walk through the proper questions a company should ask themselves and the proper questions they should ask different MaaS companies as they seek the right partner. We will also walk through a number of case studies showing the results of a successful MaaS strategy in different industries and situations. Finally, we will open up the floor for questions about the MaaS concept and its application to SMBs and Enterprise businesses.

How to Make the Most of Your Marketing Efforts During a Spending FreezeJessika White
Adapting to change is not new to marketers – but a spending freeze in the months leading to August (our biggest month for new enrollment) was something we hadn’t anticipated in the marketing department for The University of Alabama’s online degree programs. What did we do during the halt?
Our 10-person marketing team saw this as an opportunity to evaluate our lead communication strategy more than ever. And while there were lots of factors in play, our results were much better than frozen in August: a 34% increase in online graduate student enrollment and a 17.9% increase in overall online enrollment.
