Marty Marion – Brand Positioning Master Course Download

If you don’t completely control your positioning, your competitors will do it for you, and it won’t be in your favor. In fact, they’re doing it right now. Every. Single. Day. Positioning is the ONLY way to stop this fast.

I’ll show you how to take control immediately and maximize your client and customer revenue and ROI big time.

In my Master Course I’ll be doing LIVE 90-minute intensive coaching sessions every week for 24 weeks revealing the strategies and tactics your competitors don’t want you to know. This is not beginner level stuff you’ve heard before.

This Master Course will also include 6 full hours on ‘The Weaponization of Advertising and Marketing‘ – a subject I have only taught to my private clients. It’s a major evolution in the world of advertising you cannot afford to ignore or be ignorant of. I’m going to teach you how to see if it’s being used against you, how to defend against it, and especially how to use it – with integrity – for your agency and your clients.

My Positioning Master Course will leave no stone unturned with actionable strategies and tactics in every lesson. This is by far the most advanced and intensive program I have ever taught, and I will NOT be teaching this again.

About Me: Marty Marion

With close to 40 years of experience as a principal and senior executive of two of the world’s largest advertising and marketing agencies (think ‘Mad Men’ in the heyday of advertising), and having consulted to and directed highly successful brand positioning, strategic planning and digital marketing programs for agencies and major brands in almost every niche, I have a unique expertise in brand positioning strategy that can make a huge impact on your bottom line. And I’m ready to share it now with you.
