In this episode, we dive deep into the importance of marketing to your business. Together with, Deenie & Sarah, we explore why they believe marketing is the mouthpiece of your business and the difference between marketing implementation and marketing strategy. We also discuss the research they have undertaken into what students really want from their accommodation and how this challenges what is currently being built.
KEY TAKEAWAY
“We talk about marketing as your mouthpiece, and if marketing doesn't know what the business is doing, or what the business is trying to achieve, and is not having those strategic conversations around the table, then it can't deliver for you.”
