Becoming a Commercial Marketer

Build the skills and confidence to position marketing as a strategic, revenue-driving function.

Most B2B marketers know their work drives business results. The harder part is proving it, and making sure the rest of the business sees it too. This two-day virtual course, led by Propolis expert Georgina Gilmore, gives you the practical tools and frameworks to operate as a genuinely commercial marketer. That means owning a budget with confidence, connecting marketing activity to revenue outcomes, and building the kind of internal credibility that gets marketing a seat at the table. Whether you’re looking to progress your career or shift how your function is perceived, this course gives you a clear, actionable path to get there.

  • B2B marketing managers and above who own a budget and want to demonstrate clear commercial impact.
  • Marketers who struggle to justify marketing investment to senior leadership or the wider business.
  • Anyone who wants to shift marketing’s reputation from a support function to a strategic revenue driver.
  • Marketers looking to build the skills needed to progress into more senior, commercially focused roles.

This course gives you the language, frameworks, and priorities to become a commercial marketer.

 

After completing this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Define what commercial marketing means in your specific business context and articulate it clearly to leadership.
  • Identify the gaps between where you are now and where you need to be to operate as a commercial marketer.
  • Recognise and overcome the most common barriers that stop marketing teams from working commercially.
  • Apply a clear set of priorities and skills to make your marketing function more results-driven and business-aligned.
  • Make a stronger internal case for marketing investment, backed by commercial logic rather than activity metrics.
  • Take a more strategic, revenue-focused approach to how you plan, execute, and measure your work.
  • A verified certificate of completion you can add to your LinkedIn profile and CV.
  • The full 100+ slide course deck covering everything from both sessions.
