Marketing Management Books

Being an effective marketing leader is more complex than it sounds. Speak to any marketing management professional and they’ll tell you that their work is equal parts strategy, planning, execution, and analysis. It’s easy to see why. Marketing professionals with a documented strategy are 313% more likely to succeed when compared to their peers who do not have a documented strategy.

Marketing management is centered on creating, planning, and implementing strategies that will help achieve wider business objectives. These business objectives can involve increasing brand awareness, boosting profits, or entering previously untapped markets. When we begin to consider the field of marketing management, it’s important to look to marketing experts Philip Kotler and Kevin Lane Keller, who, in their book “Marketing Management," offer a standard marketing management definition as “the development, design, and implementation of marketing programs, processes, and activities that recognize the breadth and interdependencies of the business environment.”
