			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First post&#8230; What should I write..?<br />
Probably I&#8217;ll stick to what I spend most of my hours awake on doing &#8211; branding and marketing communications.</p>
<p>I was hired as responsible for the above by an international meditech company two years ago. Has really been the hilight of my professional life! I started with developing and rolling out a corporate concept in all markets worldwide and now &#8211; my newest &#8220;baby&#8221; is marketing metrics! Lots of fun &#8211; don&#8217;t you agree?</p>
<p>Really, it is. By digging into the numbers in all these rather tiresome Excel-sheets I find that it is absolutley possible to come up with a set of metrics that allow me to justify and even increase the marcom budget. That is f u n !</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to devote quite a lot of space here to share my thoughts on the subject with you and hope really hard that someone stumbles in here and has an even better idea than what I can think of. Then &#8211; please share!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s show the finance people that marketing does work and is not just a capacity cost!</p>
