Seeing marketing through the MPs eyes
This is the second year that PM Forum has examined the value being added by the marketing community through a survey of its members and MPs on 16 areas that involve marketing and BD expertise and are seen as important to the commercial success of a professional firm. 240 members responded, a 10% increase on 2008.
