Practical Use

The Periodic Table of Marketing framework is used to audit, document and prioritize marketing risks and opportunities. This typically starts with a full audit or a partial audit (limited to one or multiple Tactical Groups). 

The audit provides a roadmap and a visual overview in a spreadsheet, showing the current status of each Element and providing practical recommendations to improve performance. The recommendations can be implemented in-house or through an agency.

As every component of the marketing mix acts as a multiplier, every improvement leads to a more effective and robust marketing engine, improving brand equity, conversion rates, and sales.
