The execution of marketing projects will only be as good as the plans behind them. Kerrmunications can help you by researching your marketplace, conducting a SWOT analysis, formulating key marketing messages and competitive positioning, setting objectives, defining target markets and establishing strategies and measurement criteria. Then, after selecting which elements of the marcoms mix to use, we will write detailed plans for all marcoms activities, including strategies, tactics, budgets and timings.

Typically, the planning process can take 5 or more days.  If you would like to complete the process alongside Claire, an intensive one-day (or two half-days) marketing planning process can be undertaken.

Most organisations don’t use public relations as extensively as they should. But they’re missing out. In comparison with most other elements of the marcoms mix, PR is inexpensive. Yet it is highly effective. Kerrmunications can help you with all aspects of PR: writing PR plans; writing and issuing press releases; writing and pitching articles; arranging press conferences and launches; identifying target press/media; ascertaining forthcoming features; arranging journalist interviews and hospitality; commissioning surveys; researching conference speaking opportunities; co-ordinating awards entries; managing cuttings; and even managing the pitch process to select a new PR agency.

We can assist you with writing and implementing advertising plans, including: researching and recommending target publications/media; devising media schedules; analysing response rates; briefing advertising agencies and managing campaigns.

Whether you need a professional annual report for your investors, or a small flyer to promote your business locally, we can handle all literature needs. We will project-manage the whole process for you, including: selecting and briefing designers, photographers and printers; writing copy; proof reading and quality control; and arranging delivery of the final collateral.

We can identify and purchase or rent direct marketing lists; write copy for mailing pieces; arrange printing and collation of materials; manage the mailing process; and analyse response rates.

We can help you to plan and execute your webinars, conferences, product launches, seminars, hospitality events, incentive trips and exhibitions so that they run smoothly and effectively.

We can write, produce and distribute e-newsletters, email campaigns, direct mail campaigns, corporate magazines, door-drops and other promotional activities, whether aimed at staff, clients or prospects.

We can run your market research campaigns, by researching and writing briefs, selecting agencies, and analysing findings.

Kerrmunications runs one-day marketing workshops that cover the basics of marketing, including low-cost, tangible and effective techniques for sole traders, entrepreneurs and small- and micro- business owners.
