Marketing Intelligence is the systematic gathering and interpretation of information about the market place, which, when put into proper perspective, generates the insights that lead to better decisions.

It identifies the competitive forces at play, the key variables for success, major opportunities for growth, and the strategies and tactics that need to be implemented in order to achieve profitable growth.

Marketing Intelligence cancels out bias, neutralizes speculation and confirms the facts. If you have a problem, Marketing Intelligence will give you its dimensions: if you have no problems, it will give you an idea of what your opportunities are.

By accessing customers, competitors, suppliers and government through print sources, electronic data bases, and expert sources, Marketing Intelligence provides an overview of the environment in which we operate today, as well as the one in which we will find ourselves tomorrow.
