COMMON SCENARIOS
Which of these is closest to your situation?
Here are five examples across different business stages and marketing set-ups. We provide the marketing capabilities you need, in the way that fits your business.
01
International healthcare companies preparing to enter Japan
“We want to start doing business in Japan, but we’re not sure where to begin.”
IN PRACTICE
• Where should we start?
• Can we use our English materials in Japan without changing them?
• Who will actually drive marketing in Japan?
• How do we turn an exhibition into sales opportunities?
02
International healthcare companies where the Country Manager or BD lead also covers marketing
“Marketing matters too. But sales and business development already take up all our time.”
IN PRACTICE
• We don’t have enough time for marketing.
• We’re not sure what to prioritise.
• Sales and marketing aren’t joined up.
• We don’t yet have the budget for a dedicated marketer.
03
International healthcare companies where global marketing also covers Japan
“I cover Japan too, but from global HQ I can’t see the market in enough detail.”
IN PRACTICE
• From global HQ, it’s hard to see the nuances of the Japanese market.
• Translation alone isn’t enough to reach customers in Japan.
• The thinking behind global marketing doesn’t always come through to the Japan sales team.
• There’s no marketer in Japan to turn the strategy into action.
04
Healthcare companies with a marketer, but not enough bandwidth
“I know what needs to be done. I just don’t have time to do it all.”
IN PRACTICE
• Strategy, campaigns and production are too much for one person.
• I need a partner who understands the context without me having to explain everything.
• I only need extra capacity in specific areas, for a limited period.
• I want to focus on planning and analysis while someone else handles production.
05
Healthcare companies with an in-house marketing team that need external support for specific work
“Most of the time, we manage things in-house. But for this piece of work, we want someone experienced.”
IN PRACTICE
• The need is too short-term to justify a new hire.
• We need experience or skills we don’t have in-house.
• We need extra marketing capacity during a busy period.
• We need someone experienced who can think things through and do the hands-on work.
