For its long-term growth plans, it is now keen on developing a structured marketing and PR programme that will deliver long-lasting and assured relationships in a niche market strategically. To support Nelco in attainment of its goals, TBExG facilitated a best practice sharing session on August 20, 2021, with Tata Technologies. Santosh Singh, Sr. VP & Global Head Marketing, Business Excellence & Innovation, Tata Technologies, shared the marketing transformation approach during the session.
In FY20, Tata Technologies decided to strengthen its account-based marketing (ABM) through a collaborative effort of sales, practice and delivery teams. For this purpose, Tata Technologies decided to review its existing segmentation to identify key accounts and enhance focus on them by developing greater insights, developing an ABM calendar based on identified white spaces, strengthening collateral library management process, improving efficiency through specific resources across territories and re-negotiating contracts to optimise marketing spends. Mr Singh further shared the organisation structure created for this purpose and how the entire exercise was implemented through projects around strengthening of the company’s value proposition, account prioritisation workshops, improvement of collateral library management and associated technology support required and development of customer testimonials. Going forward, Tata Technologies intends to attract new customers by effectively communicating its value proposition by leveraging digital communication for prioritised accounts and use personalised communication to generate further interest for sales conversion.
Nelco found the session extremely useful and would be leveraging key learnings from this session to design its marketing and PR processes.
