Insights from Orientation Marketing
Chris has over 12 years publishing experience working for some of the world’s largest media suppliers including Haymarket Publishing, Reed Business Information (RBI) and UBM.
He spent a number of years working in science industries and was most recently publisher for Pharmaceutical Technology Europe. Over the years he’s amassed experience and knowledge into what works and what doesn’t in technical B2B marketing. With this background, Chris has kept ahead of the curve when it comes to modern, innovative marketing methodology.
“Our first port of call with any client project is a workshop to understand the client’s target marketing — with a view of creating a buyer persona for the project — before looking at objectives, strategy, and tactics,” says Chris. “Even though the audiences we target are similar, their roles and challenges are often diverse. Once we understand this, only then do we begin to review the possible way of communicating (as well as how to) with that audience.”
