What does this programme cover?

Lateral marketing answers a problem many mature brands share: each new flavour, size or segment variant wins less than the last, shelves crowd, prices erode and launches cannibalise the core. Vertical marketing keeps slicing the same market, while lateral marketing displaces the need, the target, the moment or the product itself to open a new category. This Core Concept course trains marketing, brand, product and sales managers to generate displacements, connect them into saleable offers, name and test them, and prepare the sales force to sell them. Participants build a Lateral Marketing Concept and Launch Plan for a case brand.
