Your transition plan for differentiated, behavior-changing brands and experiences

Designing brands, campaigns, launches, and products present a daunting problem space. The demands of time, complexity, and volume, without activities to match, creates experiences that only reflect the organization.

Let’s create the kinds of experiences that truly resonate in people’s lives. Align to existing attitudes. Prompt the next easiest action. Celebrate success.

What’s really cool is how this process has developed to simultaneously solve for success among people on the team, the people they need to bring along inside the organization, and the end-user or customer.

Once your team has gone through this process, time to market, time to analyze, clarity of what sparks segments to action, all get significantly faster and more efficient.

Over the last three decades, leaders who need to quickly and effectively get their organizations to adapt to where and how their customers are making decisions have used this process to solve really complex problems with exponentially great results:

Step-by-step

The easy way to making persuasive systems at the greatest cost savings

  • At the onset of our engagement, we will hunt through your business plan, research and brand systems looking for patterns where the brand has built itself in the current landscape. What are the assets that have had impact in the marketplace? We’ll then perform an analysis of the current competitive landscape, and what current data from media, social, and search can help us understand where the brand lives in the attention set of your network.

  • It seems simple, but how many times have you seen budgets bust and initiatives falter because the team lacked clarity of what success means and where failure has happened?

    First, we will talk one-on-one with key stakeholders about a few simple but often-overlooked topics:

    1. What makes you excited about our upcoming work together?

    2. What happened when a great project failed?

    3. What is the business problem we’re solving for?

    4. What do quick wins look like?

    5. How will we measure success?

    6. Who will play a part in the success of this project and how do they relate to each other?

    We then synthesize insights from the brand assets you’ve provided, your team’s answers to the clarity questions, and our own research to facilitate a Clarity Session.

    The Clarity Session creates a collaborative forum for aligning to the goals of stakeholders and the trends among competitors, complements, and what makes a difference to the people in your category. We will also discover and decide on future methods and research needs that may be outstanding.

    After this one day workshop, you will have an output report of insights from our time together, as well as a strategic brief that crystalizes your business goals and how they will be achieved into the working sprints that follow: all designed to provide the foundation for success from the people who are accountable for it.

  • Personas are the creation of composite people that crystalize and align who we are designing this digital product or marketing effort for. A crucial deliverable for all stakeholders to understand exactly who will unlock your business objectives, the ways they build identity with the people that mean the most to them, and the brands they use to shape how we will need to furnish information, and the places where they spend time online.

    These insights fuel innovative worksessions that fundamentally re-engineer your approach to marketing to fully prepare for creating and distributing assets that align to the attitudes of your audience and chain specific behaviors together within a strategic narrative for shared success in market.

    We'll tailor the Masterclass curriculum, uniting all stakeholders around clear, action-driven moments that matter.

  • This is where we sprint to understand how people will make decisions to unlock your business goals.

    First we will perform research methods that emerge from our clarity session. In the past, these have been a mix of in-depth interviews, Network Mapping and analysis, and Smartphone Ethnography.

Each of the leaders who engage their teams in this process could have done things the way they’ve done before.

Knowing that people use media to make decisions in a new way, they chose to engage their team in this process: to align their team in purpose and insights. Building consensus at each step. Delivering experiences that are truly resonant and meaningful for everyone.

  • In one month, generated 12,000 qualified leads in CRM at 2800% savings over benchmark

  • 300% more vaccinations in the first eight weeks than previous year total

  • 80% of people who saw the CRM Site used the product more, with 90% cost-per-engagement savings, and 30% more efficient media.
