Marketing Planning: The People, Budget & Tools You Need for Success {Podcast}

There are two big keys to successful marketing — building a rock solid marketing strategy and then persistently following through with it.

As I said in yesterday’s post, the companies that succeed are the ones that follow through on the execution and do it better than everyone else.
 While that sounds incredibly simple, it’s anything but that. Implementing your marketing plan can be a daunting task.

Where do you start? How do you get organized? What resources do you need?

We cover all that and more in this week’s episode of The Marketing Huddle. Here are some additional questions we answer:

• How do you build a marketing budget? How do you know how much to spend?
• Who should lead your company’s marketing efforts?
• Who should be on your marketing team? Do you get outsourced help or should you build your team internally?
• What are the must-have tools you need to implement your plan?

This Week in Marketing

Every episode, we also discuss marketing news that has caught our attention. This week, we talk about how Twitter has reached a deal to show tweets in Google search results.
