Flow Foundations Snapshot

Ahead of your team day, you’ll be provided a video guided diagnostic for your team to complete. This will provide an overall percentage score, one for each Flow Foundation, and the range of opinion across your team. The shape of these is one of the things we will explore with you, as it indicates where your first focus should be. We will take time on your team day to understand the sequencing of firming up your marketing foundations, to ensure that each investment you make builds on the last.

Methodology Creator

Bryony Thomas

“Your marketing is like fitness. You need a mainly healthy diet, made up of clients that keep your business energised and resourced. You need an all-over exercise plan, where you have a marketing tool or technique mapped to every step of sale. You need to actually do the exercise regularly, with a heartbeat rhythm of activity paced to match your market. And, you need a bloody good reason to do it!”

Based On The Best-Selling Book

“Hands down the best book on marketing there is. There’s no fluff only easy to use, easy to implement ideas and concepts.”

‘This is THE marketing bible! A must have for all businesses serious about growth.’

“All in all, Watertight Marketing is more than a book. Rather you will have an entire framework and methodology for addressing the marketing needs in your business. And, it’s the only marketing book you’ll ever need.”

“This is an update to the best-selling 2013 original and it has been improved in so many ways. There’s a new introduction to put Marketing in an overall business context, sections are handily signposted, new diagrams and models have been created and an entire new concept, the Profit/Purpose matrix, has been added. There are new case studies from businesses that have successfully used Watertight Marketing (apparently there are now over 2000) and the book has been improved based on practical applications of the system and feedback from the business owners and senior marketing people who have benefited.

I had been in marketing for nearly 15 years when I read the first edition and it opened my eyes to a way of marketing which was in many ways counter-intuitive but also practical, well thought-out, actionable and written in an easy to follow, jargon-free style. The second edition has built on this and is a hugely valuable handbook for anyone wanting their marketing to be more effective: large company, small company, not-for-profits or agencies. Very highly recommended.”

“In this book Bryony demystifies marketing. Her written style is conversational but articulate. The Chapters are divided into short sections each containing pearls of information. The use of real business examples and worked scenarios are invaluable and enable readers to apply the learning outcomes to their own Companies and ultimately develop a successful marketing strategy. In my opinion this book is not only a great learning tool but also one to be visited again and again as an essential point of reference . Quite possibly the only marketing book that a busy business person needs!”

“Without doubt this is the best book on small business marketing I have read. A no-nonsense, honest to goodness, blueprint that any small business can implement and improve their bottom line. It cuts through the jargon and delivers something that can be used in the real world.”

“Well worth buying the 2nd edition for the extra frameworks the author has added and new examples of how the thinking is used in real companies. One of the new frameworks which is particularly helpful is the Purpose/Profit matrix which gives us a lens through which to view the clients we work with. A lot of the key concepts are also usefully explained in more depth to give readers a richer understanding of the approach and how to use it in practice. Of course, still at its heart is the same practical, highly valuable methodology that businesses of any size can use and apply – and thousands have already used it to great effect in their own companies. Clearly and thoughtfully written, Bryony speaks eloquently for an ethical, customer-centric, purposeful marketing approach. Essential reading for business owners and directors, marketers, sales people and anyone who knows (or wants to find out) how great marketing is the cornerstone of their business success.”
