Powerful Marketers is here to help you improve your marketing and grow your business!

Our Why

Marketers are hard-working people, like hamsters in a wheel, putting out fires all day long and mostly working close to burn-out. And still, they don't feel their work is appreciated.

Business owners don't believe in the marketing function, with 73% of CEOs stating, "Marketers lack business credibility and the ability to generate sufficient growth." A survey by Fournaise Group in London highlights that 80% of CEOs don't trust marketers at all, while 91% do trust CIOs and CFOs. 

It all hurts and is not in the best interest of any company! And that is WHY marketing alignment is crucial to grow any business!

Powerful Marketers' community and strategic framework are created in order to align both parties' goals; business owners and marketers:

  • Marketers must take responsibility for the evident financial and strategic disconnect with businesses' overall goals.
  • Business owners must realize the importance of marketing alignment with their sales and business growth.

Who are we?

We are a Marketing Community that supports businesses through leveraging value-first marketing frameworks that help them grow sustainably.

Behind the Powerful Marketers brand are people who can be described as...

  • People who walk the talk. We build and run marketing strategies. We teach and help create from first-hand experience.
  • Mission focused coaches. We organize workflows and we are goal-driven project managers.
  • Believers. We believe every business is designed with a specific goal in mind. We created Powerful Marketers to help business owners discover, build, run and live into that purpose.
  • Dedicated and organized to being the best at what we do, innovating to stay ahead of the curve, and building reliable relationships within our community.

We are on a MISSION to build the most supportive, accepting and judgement-free marketing community on the planet filled with confident, productive, and impactful business owners and marketers who are passionate about mission-driven marketing for business growth.

Our VISION is to see all mission-driven business owners growing their businesses through thriving a customer- and value-first marketing mindset.

How do we do it?

We believe that no one wins alone! We empower and support members through meaningful connections, collective learning, inspiring insights, and practical virtual and face-to-face challenges and training.

The principles we follow are based on the Powerful Marketer Program, EU-certified marketing training for businesses.

Powerful Marketer Program is a strategic framework outlining the 5 core principles of a value-focused business. It's a step-by-step mindset, strategy, marketing, communication, and leadership blueprint that helps you get on the right track easier and fast-tracks your growth opportunities.

STEP 1. MINDSET: How To Prepare For Growth
This step establishes your fundament for success by defining your clear goals, competency, and strong habits to build success. Discover the gap between where you are today and where your goals are. We work with managing overwhelm, learning how to deal with daily stress and anxiety, and habits for successful growth.
STEP 2. STRATEGY: How To Align Marketing With Business Growth

The purpose of this step is to work with your marketing strategy and its alignment to build financial and strategic connections with your business' overall goals. Define your target audiences, work with different client journey phases, differentiate your business, and create an action plan to become an industry leader.

STEP 3. MARKETING: How To Work Smarter, Not Harder

This step is all about scaling your brand through strategic marketing communication, visibility, and authority. All activities will follow two principles: 1) you need to work towards being time-efficient and productive daily (having the right workflows and processes in place) and 2) you have to measure to manage (setting up metrics and building a dashboard for simple assessment).

STEP 4. COMMUNICATION: How To Boost Your Communication For Impact
Communication skills can make or break your business. You must learn about different personality types in sales and marketing, understand generational differences and know how to build meaningful relationships at any level. Because no one wins alone!
STEP 5. LEADERSHIP: How To Multiply Your Strengths & Time

Grow into an inspiring leader at any level! You need to know the way and show the way, and as a leader, it is up to you to bring out the best in everyone around you! Become a thought leader and showcase your work ethic, learn to delegate and align processes in daily management and expect productivity and growth on any level from each person and partner you work with.

Powerful Marketer Program is your marketing roadmap to business growth.
