Sharpen your marketing capabilities by upskilling your teams in the latest marketing thinking, ideas and theories and ensure everyone is performing at the highest level.

Your marketing ecosystem is the sum of your internal and external capabilities. To keep ahead, those capabilities need to be stretched, developed and grown. AAR offers a suite of upskilling options to enhance your marketing excellence and commercial results.

An organisation’s marketing skills bank needs to be constantly expanding. That’s why whenever we are talking about a growth plan or a transformation programme, a capability assessment and a development road map is at the heart of our thinking.

We work with clients at different points and places on their capability journey to deliver a marketing upskill programme that’s right for them, either as a strategic partner shaping and forming the plan, or sourcing the right trainers and coaches and delivering part or all of an agreed Upskill plan.

Questions our clients are asking:

  • How do I understand what skills I need in my team, and where the gaps are?
  • How do I define the right approach and priorities to upskill my team?
  • How do I build a business case to justify investment in my Upskill plan?
  • How do I find the right experts to deliver my training and development priorities?
  • I’m getting feedback that my team is poor at writing briefs, how can I solve this at pace?
  • How can I drive my team’s digital fluency, so we’re all speaking the same language?
  • We’re moving capabilities in-house, what skills do I need to develop to ensure that’s a success?

Upskilling where it counts, and where it’s costing you

Where it counts:

Upskilling will make a significant difference to your team's ability to be able to perform at the highest level in their role, and affect marketing and commercial success. 

Where it costs:

Not upskilling is already costing you. Driving inefficiency, diluting effectiveness, and wasting opportunities to stand out in the market. 

We all learn in different ways, that’s why any upskill programme needs to offer the right combination of learning techniques

AAR's Upskill offering includes:

  • IRL training
  • Virtual training
  • Coaching
  • Live learning
  • E-learning
  • Mentor programmes
  • Podcasts
  • Inspirational talks
  • Swap shops

One-off need

"We worked with AAR to build an understanding of how to get the best out of our agencies. They delivered a half day workshop, bespoking their content where needed to reflect our specific agency and in-house arrangements. The workshop was very well received by our marketing and digital teams and has given us a really solid foundation to improve our ways of working." - Head of marketing, B2B, leisure & entertainment

Series of modules

"Training is really important to us and so we turned to AAR to develop a strong marketing programme for us. They built bespoke, relevant modules that our colleagues across the Marketing department really got the most out of and delivered them with a knowledge, passion and energy that was exemplary. The training was incredibly well received, with fantastic scores across the piece." - Marketing Controller, Retail

Shaping a new programme

"We engaged AAR to help shape our Marketing Excellence Programme. Not an easy job given the scale of the task, differing stakeholder views and a relentless focus on cost efficiency. What AAR delivered was insightful, pragmatic and inspiring. They scoped out a series of options with high level content, and led a series of internal workshops to help gain agreement for the right approach. They managed each and every part of the project with knowledge, experience and a contagious passion to succeed." - Group Marketing Director, B2C, Hospitality

Leading a new programme

"AAR has embraced and immersed themselves in our complexity to improve our internal capability. The objective and experienced perspective that AAR brings to the table has been vital in providing a true picture of what we needed to address, and how. The bespoke Marketing Excellence Training Programme, developed and delivered by AAR, has been instrumental in raising standards, confidence and morale across the marketing community. Now in its 6th year the programme goes from strength to strength.” - Director of Communications/ Retail
