Client: Dresden Marketing GmbH

Project period: 2020/2021

The project in brief

How do you establish holistic place marketing that integrates all relevant players and exploits existing potential? – We developed concrete strategic answers to this complex question for Dresden Marketing GmbH.

The goal: to establish optimal structures and processes that enable genuine cooperation between all the organizations involved.

Our way of working: Questioning structures and processes – developing a vision

Our strategic consulting was based on an analysis of the current situation: How is Dresden Marketing GmbH structured? – We held numerous discussions with local stakeholders and analyzed the existing structures, processes and tools.

A central component of the strategy development was also the definition of the target state: What should the collaboration look like in order to present the location in the best possible way? – The answer to this question was both a version and a concrete task.

Our strategic consulting for Dresden’s place marketing included:

  • Analysis of the current situation
  • Evaluation of the various marketing tools with regard to the objective
  • Benchmark analysis: comparison with other cities
  • Development of a strategy for optimized structures and processes

The result: clear distribution of roles and more understanding

Raising awareness of unused potential: this was also the focus of numerous discussions, especially with political decision-makers. We uncovered inefficient processes – and transformed them into new processes: For a clear allocation of roles and coordination of the organizations involved and an integrated, sustainable place marketing.
