Managing internal and external communications is critical during a merger or acquisition. Keeping marketing programs humming while merging can be taxing without expert help.
Fear not. We can create and execute a strategy that will help your in-house sales and marketing teams not only function, but thrive during a business transition.
Working with your leadership, legal, human resources, public relations, sales, and operations personnel, we build a phased marketing and integration roadmap that outlines your acquisition marketing strategy and tactical execution plan through the four key stages of an acquisition:
- Pre-announcement
- Announcement “Day 1”
- The first 100 days
- Post-acquisition: days 101–365
