In this webcast Phil Allen, marketing excellence practitioner and value creator, draws on his extensive understanding of the world of marketing to provide insights into how chemical companies should position their marketing strategies in the face of the global economic slowdown. In this webcast you will receive takeaway data and recommendations for action.

Marketing is about developing lasting relationships with customers who prefer to do business with your brand, because it makes their experience more positive. The relationship and the brand experience must be sustainable through good times and tough times. The tough times are when your customer really needs and values your support. Despite this fact, many companies succumb to the pressure to reduce marketing activity when times are tough, seeing marketing as an avoidable expense rather than an investment in value. “This is a false economy,” Allen says.

So what are the key things you need to do right now? What questions should you be asking? What tools can you use to drive up company value in the downturn?

Phil Allen, who has 30 years experience in driving value from marketing in chemical and plastics companies, will answer these questions and more.

On this Webcast you can expect to:

• Receive proprietary market research-based knowledge including substantial data on the topic under discussion and interpretation of that data
• Receive analysis of the most appropriate marketing tools for the chemical sector during a downturn
• Learn about best practice steps for implementing critical marketing tools
