Before launching Marketing Solutions in 1997, our founder, Andrew Ballard, began formulating the Market Analysis Positioning System™ (MAP System™) we use to develop effective growth strategies for our clients.

The MAP System™ is a sequential, research-based process that incorporates business and market analyses to reveal and validate the most effective revenue acceleration strategies. At its core is an engine that aligns internal business conditions with external market conditions to output customized programs.

Finding Your Northstar
Analyzing Your Business
Asking Your Customers
Studying your Competitors
Defining Your Niche
Shaping Your Position
Aligning Your Promotion
Optimizing Your Results

Andrew’s book, entitled Your Opinion Doesn’t Matter, details the eight-steps in this system as a straightforward “how-to” guide. This revolutionary book has been endorsed as “innovative and insightful” in both corporate and academic circles. Learn more
