A few of the teams we’ve trained

Marketing training


The world’s most recognised brand brought us in as their global strategic partner to transform the digital and integrated marketing skills of their teams. We created the “Digital IQ” programme - a bespoke curriculum of courses supporting all levels from leadership teams to graduate entry. We delivered these as workshops in all priority markets, and as global elearning programmes, measured skills and advised on new marketing toolkits and approaches.

Global elearning


Mastercard needed to deliver online training at scale to keep its teams at the leading-edge of marketing. We developed an extensive programme of cutting-edge training courses and an always-on resource that gave them the knowledge they needed at their fingertips in every meeting and every briefing. The suite of courses was heralded as exceptional, with 100% compliance in the marketing organisation.

Global marketing training


Unilever’s CMO set a goal to make Unilever “the best digital marketing company in the world”. We developed comprehensive learning and development programmes to transform the confidence and skills of 7000 marketers, with 4000 managers, directors and VPs joining our workshops in over 40 countries. 7000 were trained online in bespoke elearning courses. Brands like Dove, Lifebuoy and Knorr became digital standard-bearers in marketing.

Menarini needed a practical way to strengthen the digital marketing skills of its teams across a large number of countries. We developed a bespoke curriculum of online courses and webcasts to drive new behaviours. Working with digital marketing specialists we assessed people’s training desires and delivered a fully managed multi-year programme that made it effortless for both participants and country managers.

Training


The world’s leading HIV therapy business needed to drive transformation in its marketing. The joint venture between Pfizer & GSK asked us to guide them on strengthening the digital marketing ecosystems of the brands and patient information services in these high-profile therapy areas. We developed training, metrics, showed how to integrate field sales and digital, focus brand launches, and create a strategy for digital marketing.

Diageo described digital skills as being a “share price sensitive” issue and asked us to pioneer a programme to accelerate the knowledge of its teams.
