Broadband Marketers, Are You Ready To Learn From the Industry's Best and Brightest?

 

If you execute world-class marketing, you’ll elevate your brand, excite your subscribers, and grow the value of your business. But we understand that great marketing is no easy feat—especially for smaller teams. To excel as a marketer, you need to:

  • Use data to understand your subscribers’ needs. You must analyze subscriber data to understand their needs and behaviors. What motivates them? What are the patterns in their behavior and usage of bandwidth and services?
  • Understand your competition. How can you differentiate?
  • Map the subscriber journey. The best BSPs create a series of touchpoints to engage with subscribers.
  • Segment your subscriber base. You’ll also need to craft messaging and content that will resonate with each specific audience.
  • Create compelling new offers and execute flawless launches. How can you continuously deliver the services that will excite your subscribers?
  • Run multi-channel campaigns, analyze the performance, and measure the results. And many BSPs need to do all this with small teams and limited budgets.

Feeling overwhelmed about how to achieve marketing excellence? Don’t worry—Broadband Marketing Academy is here to help. This new institution offers broadband service providers virtual training, education, and best practices to simplify marketing processes, automate marketing workflows, and quickly see a bigger return on marketing investments.
