As we near the end of 2017, many publicly-held companies will be examining budget usage against performance. At this time of year, Marketing leaders often become concerned that their unused budget will be pulled back to improve year-end financials – and not reallocated the following year. It’s “use it or lose it” time.
Are there goals on your 2017 plan that have not progressed sufficiently? It’s time to jump-start those and show significant progress by fourth quarter so you’ll have a case for keeping (or even expanding) that budget. Consider bringing me in as a consultant to partner with your teams. I’ll get stalled projects back in motion – and do some of the heavy-lifting that no one has had time for.
