Leverage strategic partnerships and secure marketing funding
Channel marketing is the practice of working with a third party to take your products or services to market. This method can be faster and more effective than more traditional growth models. However, it does come with its own unique set of challenges that require specialised solutions to deliver results.
Our team have over a decade of experience working with some of the largest companies in the IT/tech channel. OEM/vendors such as Microsoft, Samsung, HPE, LG, Dell, Phillips, NEC & Adobe. Distributors such as Tech Data, Westcoast and Exertis, and resellers/service providers such as ComputerCentre, SCC and Softcat to name but a few.

The key to Channel Marketing
The two key components in any successful IT/tech channel marketing program are fund management and message effectiveness. By ensuring these elements are operating efficiently you will be able to deliver the critical Key Performance Indicator (KPI), the measure by which all channel marketing is judged – Return On Investment (ROI).
ROI is the key to unlocking exponential growth in both marketing funding and sales revenue through lead generation. However, too often strategic thinking and effective planning are trumped by the daily demands and helter-skelter pace of life in the channel.
Whilst this is understandable, it is also ultimately self-defeating, an ever-decreasing circle of pressure that squeezes ROI and eventually ends up delivering cookie cutter campaigns that are quick to execute but deliver very little in the way of results.
