Detailed Responsibility:

• Create a Marketing Strategy that will act as a guide for the year in terms of the company's marketing activities. This process is that of bringing in all key stakeholders, discussing and gathering feedback, then mapping it all out into a cohesive, structured strategy document covering all major areas such as Value Proposition, core messaging, target audience, and mediums to reach the audience. This strategy will directly generate the marketing Plan below. The marketing strategy must address all three main pillars - customers, staff, and investors.
• Create a Marketing Plan that is purely the execution tasks as per the strategy document above. This plan simply maps out all activities, schedules their execution and estimates a cost against each activity. This will also be guided by the available budget allocated for marketing activities. This plan will serve as a guide for the rest of the year, but will remain flexible as we go and can be updated from time to time.
• Execution of the Marketing Plan including deviations and adjustments to the plan as long as they have been agreed in advance
• Generation of content. Content is the key ingredient in the marketing strategy.

• Manage the marketing budget for the year and ensure it is spent in the best possible manner for maximum effectiveness
• Manage and coordinate external parties, advertisers and contractors who somehow deliver goods or services to the company
• Capitalize on in-house talent and potential in terms of doing as much as we can using our own expertise and potential. Where we need external assistance, engage a 3rd party to do so.
• Compile reports and updates for management and board as per agreed time tables and format.
• Any other tasks that are delegated by the S&M Manager, GM or MD.
