Marketing Strategy for Start-ups

Investment Readiness Workshop Part 1

MARKETING STRATEGY FOR START-UPS

A strong marketing strategy affects every aspect of your start-up, including the business model. By identifying and communicating the needs of your target clients, marketing connects all areas of your business.

In this interactive workshop, we will explore what your business needs from its marketing function. You will go away with clear KPIs and the confidence to communicate your vision. In this 2-hour investment readiness workshop you will cover the following topics and outcomes:

Key topics

• Comprehensive marketing strategy
• Branding fundamentals for start-ups
• The importance of market research
• Fundamentals of your marketing function

Outcomes

• Understanding the business function of marketing
• Knowledge of branding essentials
• Marketing KPIs
• Confidence to set marketing goals

This workshop is one of two workshops in our investment readiness support programme.

Who is it for?

This programme is for entrepreneurs with innovative ideas looking to raise funding to accelerate their business. It is designed to be useful and inspiring regardless of your level of marketing knowledge.

What is the point of an investment readiness workshop?

To raise funds, you need a clear message. A start-up that can’t communicate its USP will always struggle. And when you have created a technical marvel, the temptation is to only talk about the tech. Having a great idea is one thing, but how do you identify and explain your business case? We have designed a programme that gives entrepreneurs the tools to make sure their message lands with investors.

Over the course of two workshops, participants will learn the essential marketing fundamentals that they need to reach their goals. The workshops are two hours each. Alongside this, we offer optional one-on-one support for tailored marketing advice, pitch deck reviews, and a pitch deck improvement service.
