The effectiveness of marketing communications is a key factor in the sales success of any brand. A high–quality communication strategy, brand representation in the information field and sales channels directly affect business profitability, which is an important indicator for owners.
An external marketing audit from the SEA Company is a comprehensive assessment of the brand's communication strategy and media, tools and promotion channels, conducted by specialized experts with many years of experience working in international brands. We help you digitize the real situation, identify weak links, find growth points, and enhance the effectiveness of your marketing investments.
The project is being implemented in three stages
Stage #1 Internal audit
After signing the contract, a supervising consultant with specialized expertise is assigned to the project. The SEA Company team will analyze all available marketing materials and provide an expert assessment of their correctness or recommendations for necessary changes.
At this stage, the assessment is subject to:
marketing strategy (if any);
PR strategy (if any);
media plan of advertising placements (if available);
informational materials (presentations, press releases, email mailing templates, photo and video banks and other materials used in communication with B2C and B2B clients).
Stage #2 External audit
The second stage of the audit is the assessment of the brand's external representation in the information field, social networks and sales channels.
The expert will conduct:
assessment of the brand's media presence (brand representation in the media and social networks) using objective analysis tools;
a comparative assessment of a competitive group;
digital brand marketing.
Stage #3 Audit report
The result of the external and internal audit of brand marketing is the conclusion of the expert in charge of the project in the format of a detailed report on the effectiveness of brand marketing with an objective comparative assessment of the work of the audited entity and its competitors, as well as a structured set of recommendations for improving marketing effectiveness.
The conclusion is formed not only on the basis of the results of the first and second stages, but also taking into account the specifics of the brand, as well as the socio-economic situation in the region where the brand is located at the time of the audit.
