How Apple stomped its #1 competitor…

In 1997 Apple was in a shambles. That was the year Michael Dell, riding the coattails of a brilliant distribution strategy and booming laptop sales, stated that if ran Apple he’d shut it down and return the money to the shareholders.

This paper unpacks aspects of Apple’s marketing strategy including how it makes key management decisions in new product development, new markets, customer loyalty and others.

Read this to gain an understanding of Apple’s truly unique competitive strategy…how it leverages its strengths and compensates for weaknesses. A highlight of the paper is how Apple took on consumer electronics giant Sony to create a market cap that is now ten times that of Sony’s.

The rise of the part-time Chief Marketing officer in tech

There has been a growing demand for part-time CMOs, also known as fractional CMOs, in large enterprises where transitional or short-term functional leadership roles need to be filled. According to a recent report by the CMO Council sponsored by part-time CMO service provider Chief Outsiders, this need is due to CMO transitions, lack of specific skill sets, new competitive market conditions, diversification, market expansion, restructuring, acquisition, rapid growth, or a changing business model.

Marketing team reorganisation (62%), CMO termination or leadership failure (50%), and global expansion or new market entry (48%) were the top three reasons why business leaders are turning to part-time CMOs for help. These reasons stem from the fact that modernisation of marketing organisation, systems and operation is required to ensure the company is able to meet consumers’ needs.
