INNOVATION MARKETING AS A LEITMOTIV OF BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

Abstract

In a business landscape characterized by challenges, uncertainty, and intense competition, the strategic adoption of innovation emerges as the linchpin determining a company's resilience during crises, its ability to navigate through turbulent times, and its sustained competitiveness. Faced with such imperatives, companies are compelled to allocate resources strategically across diverse channels to secure their longevity. Within this strategic framework, innovation emerges as the pivotal factor for differentiation, expansion into new markets, and the enhancement of market standing by surpassing customer expectations. In this vein, innovative marketing stands out as a particularly promising strategy. It not only equips companies to proactively anticipate evolving market dynamics but also positions them to capitalize swiftly on emerging opportunities, allowing for proactive engagement rather than reactive responses to market shifts. Moreover, innovative marketing serves as a means to distinguish a company from its competitors and validate innovations that deliver tangible value. This study aims to meticulously examine the impact of innovative marketing on overall company performance, shedding light on the multifaceted ways in which this strategic approach contributes to sustained success and growth.

Keywords: Innovation, marketing, performance, environment, competition.
