Virtual Chief Marketing Officer (V.CMO)

“Brand perception is the key to effective marketing.” – When you know the touch points, you can then bridge connections to consumers.

A strong brand is built on the success of both tangible and intangible elements.  The basic tangibles:- product, office space and website are insufficient to distinguish your brand apart from the competition.  The intangible portion:- significance and perception that recipients derive from the branding ultimately determines their preferred choice.

What makes your durian better than the other fruit stalls' which would have customers travel all the way from east to west for it?  What makes someone pick Coke over Pepsi or Apple over Samsung?  It is the brand connection that stimulates customer desire and motivates demand, and in turn creating a form of relevance and loyalty and therefore resulting in present and future business value.

This is where a V.CMO comes in play to craft out the brand strategy to create and retain loyalty for your business.

FAQ:

1. Why should I farm out my entire Marketing department?

-     To save time and increase profits.

2. Who is the Service suitable for?

-     The VCMO Service is suitable for any small to mid-sized Businesses that want to stand out from the crowd while managing marketing overheads

3. How much in overheads can I save?

-     Depending on your Business' current setup, a VCMO can potentially reduce marketing overheads by 80%.

4. How much time can I save?

-     A lot!  Without having to handle the burden of Marketing matters on your own, you can focus fully on Sales and Business Development.

5. Is the VCMO going to handle EVERYTHING for my company?

-     The VCMO will handle everything as per our terms of engagement.

6. Is the VCMO technically my employee?

-     He or she is a partner of our firm assigned to your company and is not technically an employee of yours, meaning to say, there is no CPF payable.  Save more! =)

7. How long does it take to implement the chances?

-     Depending on the work required, it may take between 1-3 months to implement proposed changes.

8. What is the catch?

9. What is the Security Deposit for?

-     To ensure timely and effective implement of changes, the VCMO needs the flexibility to commit to certain arrangements with 3rd parties who may require a deposit.
