The programme
The Small Scale Development Programme: Wales (SSDP: Wales) is a brand-new programme from the AMA for 2022. It’s built to help small organisations get the skills and knowledge they need to take a strategic, effective approach to their marketing.
The programme is spread across six workshops, that focus on five essential topics:
- Marketing strategy framework and Vision/Mission
- Brand
- Understanding your audiences
- Setting objectives and identifying strategies
- Planning communications
Below you can explore a selection of curated resources that supplement the workshops undertaken within the programme.
