Where did you start from?
The Group’s IT Department wanted to promote the contribution of the entire IT sector to the company’s business.
To this end, it decided to create the position of “IT Marketing Manager”.
It is quite natural that they called on us to frame and launch this marketing function of the IT Department with the person approached for the position.
What was your approach to the issue?
The mission was carried out with the spirit of the “outside-in” char by Talisker: we build an entity in relation to its customers.
A distinct expectation of what the function should look like
- Formalization of the Group IT Department’s expectations for the function
- Inventory of ISD functions to identify the position of the marketing function in the organization and its interactions
- Identification and commitment of players and bodies for the 5 business divisions.
A projection of the scope of the function
- Valuation of the IT department
- Expression of services
- Customer voice
- Customer and user experience
- Image / Communication
