Sound
Planning + Capable Execution = Marketing Success
This equation may sound simple. At OCAF, we know that it is not.
Marketing
is a discipline. The marketer must maintain optimism and objectivity
in perfect balance. Optimism is needed in order to begin and to venture
forward. Objectivity is required to find the best way to success.
The
OCAF Marketing Kit already assumes that you are optimistic about the
event or program you are planning to present. What it does is
impose a degree of objectivity by asking the questions that need to
be answered to guarantee the greatest likelihood of marketing success.
Some
of the questions in this kit may seem obvious. Other questions may make
you uncomfortable because you have not considered them before or because
the answer obliges you to rethink your plans. However, you will
be able to proceed more confidently and engage the support of others
more easily when you have ready answers to these questions.
