AAM High! Webinar: Anybody Have a Map? Developing and Executing AAM’s Marketing Plan

When:  Dec 10, 2020 from 01:00 PM to 02:00 PM (ET)

A marketing plan is a roadmap for firms with a big, flashing arrow saying “YOU ARE HERE.” It provides a historical reference point to how you got to a particular place in your marketing operations and opens up the myriad of ways you can move forward. There is no wrong way to develop a marketing plan, but we can help guide you through the steps we took from start to finish!

Over the past 18 months, a group of AAM members has been leading the development of AAM’s first association-wide marketing plan. This plan sprang from AAM’s Vision 2020 commitments and was meant to give AAM an idea of what we’re good at, where we can improve, and how to go about doing so.

This plan is now being incorporated into Vision 2025, but before we see how it plays out, we wanted to share the process we underwent in its development. 

During this session, we will:

  • Provide you with both high level and tactical ideas for implementing your firm's own plan
  • Show you our process in developing AAM’s marketing plan
  • Highlight key elements of the plan that you can expect to see in the coming years
