A framework for marketing management

The Periodic Table of Marketing is a proprietary marketing framework that enables organizations to:

  • Audit the components of the marketing mix
  • Identify marketing risks and opportunities
  • Prioritize marketing tactics
  • Optimize the marketing and sales funnel

This strategic marketing framework comprises 14 Tactical Groups, all representing a vital part of a high-performance marketing engine. Each group contains Marketing Elements, each a key component to tactical success.

Investigating and documenting the status, opportunities, and priorities of each Marketing Element provides organizations with a clear marketing roadmap, showing what they should do next to push the needle.

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.
