Consulting & Training
We like to share our knowledge.
Benefit from our know-how.
We offer a neutral consulting in marketing and strategy issues. Irrespective of an agency contract, you can discuss market developments and strategies with us. In the framework of a counselling or a workshop we develop ideas and tips for your strategies in marketing, advertising and PR. Our advice is based on publicly available market data, which are supplemented with results from GMC’s own market and media studies. We share our agricultural know-how in workshops and coaching lessons to newcomers to the branch. We shed light on special topics and developments concerning the agricultural economy in trend lectures.
Communication consulting
What goals do you want to achieve by your communication activities? Who are your target and stakeholder groups? In addition to the classic customer segments, the social and political environment in particular must be taken into account in the agricultural sector. Which messages would you like to transmit to your target groups? Which products, brands or services do you want to focus on? Together with you, we develop goals and target groups and create concrete measures.
Media strategy
Which communication channels do your target groups use? Which agricultural journals, online portals and social media channels use the people you want to address? The findings from the official media analysis provide the basis of media planning and optimization. But are these results always neutral and factually interpreted? We use our know-how to create or optimize your media plan. Together, we’ll analyze if the recommended media really matches your marketing and advertising goals.
Lectures
Is your company in need of information on current developments and demands on the agricultural industry? We develop a trend lecture for you and your specific needs, which is given either at GMC or at another location of your choice. Depending on the group size and the duration, the GMC managing director and agricultural journalist Dirk Gieschen will give the lecture on his own or will be supported by the GMC team as well as external specialists.
