Prior to the launch of a new digital press, Konica Minolta Canada’s business solutions division needed an integrated solution to produce a channel marketing campaign that combined corporate marketing efforts with local sales offices to present a united marketing effort to prospects and existing customers.

Love Child: How to make sure your channel marketing program is not misunderstood by the channel you are trying to help, and not seen as “different from the rest” by your Executive Team. (This is what happens when I listen to the Supremes on the 60’s radio station)
