12. Service Overview

13. We work with clients to achieve a variety of marketing goals, but generally speaking we’ve found that our marketing clients are usually focused on one or two things: building brand awareness, and/or driving new leads for their sales team. Our full portfolio of Go 2 market services can help with both. The widely respected and objective 451 Research brand can help you to build your brand equity and support your efforts to secure venture capital funding, secure a partnership agreement, or capture the mindshare of the press. Conversely, you can leverage our content to compliment every stage of your demand-gen marketing funnel: from message creation to lead generation to qualified prospect nurturing.

14. Our analyst team will help you to identify topics that appeal to your target audience, and then determine the right mix of executions to fit your content marketing strategy.
We can work with you to create a quarterly go to market plan to support your goals. We can help identify topics that will be of interest to your target audience, and then align any number of marketing executions that meet your budget and your objectives. Some executions, like using a custom analyst quote in a Press Release will build the buzz, other executions like a webinar with audience generation will help to bring in leads.We have a number of off-the-shelf assets, all pretty self explanatory, but I would be happy to explain in more detail today or in a future meeting.
