    International Marketing Organization Structures

    PropolisBy Shane Redding

    How should a high performing marketing team be structured, run, and fit within an organisation with an international or global operation and footprint?

    This model looks at different structures and operating models for the marketing department depending on the type of organisation and was developed by two experts on Propolis, B2B Marketing’s community intelligence platform.

    The key types of organisation are:
    – National
    – International
    – Global
    – Glocal

    The model provides a framework for how to best structure marketing in different organisations looking at key aspects such as marketing strategy, budgeting, production and use of resources.

    This model was jointly developed by Shane Redding and Scott Stockwell, both strategy and evolution experts at Propolis. There are 30 such experts on hand to share their expertise and experience as well as offer 121-support on Propolis, a community intelligence platform that enables B2B marketers to enhance strategy, build a world-class marketing function and deliver tangible ROI. Joining Propolis also gives you access to a raft of tools, guides and best practices to drive and execute innovation as well as live and on-demand training, workshops roundtables and briefings.
