Understanding Economics to Drive Better Marketing Decisions

In this episode of 'Digital Marketing Answered', CEO and Founder of Innovation Visual, Tim Butler, is joined by Dr Nicola Headlam, who is a highly experienced economist, to discuss the real impacts of different economic factors on marketing and business decisions.
Businesses and their sales and marketing teams, operate within the wider local, national and often international economic markets. No business is completely isolated from the economic and political climate it operates in. Leaders need to understand how factors outside their control will impact their business.
Dr Headlam discusses the concept of VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) to why it’s important to have a risk and opportunity mentality. This thought-provoking episode will leave you with some key considerations to ensure your business is resilient to ensure marketing success:
‘If your business as usual isn’t big enough to have space for both your best- and worst-case scenario than your business as usual isn’t business as usual…’
Dr Nicola Headlam’s bio:
With over 20 years of experience in economic development, she has developed and delivered strategies and evidence bases at various spatial scales, from local to regional to supra-national.
Her mission is to leverage her expertise as an economist and economic development strategist to to help business and public sector organisations to make better informed decisions and achieve better outcomes.
