Are we marketing the same way?
• Annual plans/budgets
• Market requirements docs
• Positioning docs
• Brand guidelines
• Media plans

1. Use post-its not spreads or PPTs

2. Skip creative briefs
• CYA for agencies
• Time planning is not time doing
• Keep plans short (<2 pages)
• Think outlines
• Does anyone really read them?

3. Identify drivers – need leaders

4. Shorter more frequent meetings
• Which would you prefer?
• 90 min show-and-tell staff meeting
• Or three 15 min action-oriented meetings

5. Keep show and tells < 5 mins
• Marketers are story tellers
• I don’t care about 6 months from now
• Use meetings for status and priorities
• What did you just do/doing now?
• How can I help you do it better?
