Flexible marketing for consistent growth

About

Strong capability, strong performance

Working in B2B marketing for over 20 years provided opportunities to be part of success stories at organizations of all sizes: launching global brands, bringing new products to market and running campaigns to drive pipeline.

But, along with every successful initiative, I was also directed to work on several efforts that lacked a defined goal, so they were doomed to miss the mark from the start. In my experience, the link between business goals and marketing initiatives is weak at more organizations than you might think.

I founded Acument to make marketing strong: as a capability, an investment and a business driver. Our approach is designed to help  clients prioritize and engage the resources they need immediately, discard what is no longer relevant, and plan for performance.
