We’ve been observing an important shift in the role marketing organizations play in industry-leading companies. Some examples of this shift include:
| From Marketing Excellence | To Commercial Excellence |
|---|---|
| Developing excellent marketers | Developing excellent marketers & general managers |
| The consumer is at the center of everything we do | The consumer and shopper are at the center of everything we do |
| The health of my brand is determined by what consumers and shoppers think of it | The health of my brand is determined as much by what retail buyers think of it as what consumers & shoppers think |
| Brand plan objectives must align with those of key customers; if they don’t we must retrofit to ensure they do | Aligning my brand plan objectives with those of key customers is a crucial early requirement of planning |
We define Commercial Excellence as strategic & executional rigor that delivers more profitable & sustainable business & brand growth because it involves the full manufacturer/retailer & consumer/shopper ecosystems.
