Developing a Go-to-Market (GTM) Strategy that aligns marketing initiatives with the financial objectives of the business
The first challenge companies face when building a GTM Strategy is identifying the target market. To do that, researchers study customers, competitors, and suppliers.
To attract more customers, go-to-market managers plan a budget for performance and brandformance strategies. Campaigns are launched online, at events, via TV, radio, print, out-of-home (OOH) advertising. Choosing the right mix of channels to promote your product is crucial, especially in the early stages.
A go-to-market strategy helps coordinate customer forecasts, customer acquisition costs, budgets, revenue, timings, and more with business goals. It serves as the link between marketing & financial planning and should be easily adaptable to changes.
We provide go-to-market strategy development for marketers (CMO) and financial managers (CFO)
For a go-to-market strategy to be successful it has to incorporate a realistic financial model forecast. It includes spends & revenue projections, and a comprehensive investment plan. It features key performance indicators (KPI) monitoring dashboard and tools for assessing success. Simply put, a good go-to-market strategy is the financial & marketing management hub for a portfolio of brands.
