Client Challenges

  • Following merger activity, this global asset manager engaged Alpha to define the new target operating model for their Global Marketing function
  • The emphasis was on the capabilities that the combined marketing function would need to operate in a digital and data led world, and how the function could demonstrate value in managing a broad set of client relationships

Alpha Approach

  • We helped to define the strategic role of marketing and highlighted the gaps in the operating model vs industry best practice
  • We helped define the optimal MarTech stack needed and supported the decision on marketing automation solution and content production system that would best suit their requirements
  • We also defined a high-level roadmap to fill the capability gaps aligned to in-flight projects and within the resources/funding available for the project portfolio

Client Benefits

  • A clear roadmap for addressing short-term tactical initiatives, in addition to a longer term plan for building maturity and capability, including implementation plan for selected Marketing Technology software
  • A set of recommendations to define and prioritise areas of focus in order to bridge the gap between the current state operating model and an industry-leading model
