AoM’s comprehensive system turns marketing chaos into clarity.

Marketing is overflowing with opinions and information, but without a clear structure they quickly turn into random and wasteful activities.

Get your whole organisation speaking the same language.

The Anatomy of Marketing uses the human body as an analogy to give everyone a shared language. It breaks marketing into seven clear, colour-coded parts, so teams can see where things fit, spot what’s missing, and work together as one connected system.

The structure and form — shapes design, defines voice, and guides messaging.

The Heart

The emotional centre — shapes meaning and relationships.

Company Strategy

Know what to do now, next, and later. Invest where it matters most.

The diagnosis level of the AoM goes beyond skin deep. By drilling down to an activity level, it helps teams focus on the right priorities at the right time, and decide at what level of investment. It replaces siloed thinking with shared priorities, so decisions are connected and coordinated across the organisation.

Build collaboratively with tools and training designed to connect teams.

Each area of the AoM is supported by beautifully designed worksheets that make best-in-class thinking accessible, practical, and easy to use for refining and creating together.
