Introducing our 4 pillars of marketing.

Written by Julie Brook | 9 April 2021

Our ‘Four Pillars' of marketing is a useful model to understand the marketing department’s role and the key responsibilities of any marketing team.

 

The 4 Pillars of Marketing

Our four pillars of marketing model captures the key functions of marketing and arranges them in a sequence, so you can work through them step-by-step:

  1. Define: Know what your potential customers look like, and what your product or service can do for them.
  2. Find: Identify ways to target them, based on their behaviour and habits.
  3. Win: Devise strategies to close sales and create customers.
  4. Keep: Monitor customer churn (loss) and create retention activities to remedy it.

You can think of the four pillars of marketing as a roadmap or a checklist. It’s simple but effective, which is why our team and our customers return to it again and again.
