Marketing Consultancy
| The Darlington Group's consulting approach recognizes that every client's needs are unique and require individual solutions. Our overriding aim is to provide comprehensible, actionable, commercially realistic and pragmatic strategically oriented marketing and management solutions.
A specific approach to any project emerges from the analysis of the client's problems, opportunities, economic climate and general operating industry environment. The Darlington Group's approach to market research is, in isolation, only one means to an end. As problem solvers, we may not always recommend research as a solution. Rather, the focus is to derive optimum strategic direction from our client's internal and external resources.
Many assignments frequently involve the sourcing and analysis of both primary and secondary data. Where research input is suggested, we concentrate on evolving key "need to know" issues from creative and relevant research technology. Our strategic development approach includes the appropriate, reasonable and enthusiastic client involvement. We encourage our clients work with us at various points of the consultative process, during critical phases. This ensures, not only formal integration of knowledge, but that a realistic interpretation of marketing findings is comprehended.
The benefit is the development and implementation of both tactical and strategic marketing plans, designed to achieve your corporate objectives. The Darlington Group aims to identify- strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that exist. In addition, the application of identifying the corporate critical success factors is of equally important to strategy. Only in this way are decisions made on what needs to be done to achieve objectives and the allocation of resources.
The Darlington Group recognises change as inevitable, and offers diversification so your business does not only survive, it prospers.
