WHAT THIS ONLINE WORKSHOP DOES

Identify communications priorities, within 2 hours, so you can deploy your time and money on the most important communications levers, even if you have limited marketing experience.

DOES THIS SITUATION SEEM FAMILIAR TO YOU?

  • “We’re not getting the results we want from our messaging. We suspect that we’re chasing after the wrong communications priorities. But, we don’t know how to reprioritize.”
  • “We need to do a communications health check. We’re concerned that we’re investing in unnecessary work that gets us nowhere. We’re also concerned that we’re missing out on key issues.”
  • “We’re being told what a great job we’re doing creatively and in our media selection. The problem is that these may reflect the wrong priorities. How do we see if we’re focusing on the right things?”

HOW YOU CAN BENEFIT FROM IT

Run through an online, comprehensive Communications Health Check in a 2-hour online workshop

  • This means you will be asked relevant questions to understand what your communications priorities should be, even if you do not have a communications background.
  • You get to do this anywhere it is convenient for you.
  • Results will be provided immediately in the workshop.

Get an independent perspective without any further commitments

Benefit from a comprehensive process

  • A detailed series of about 50 Yes/No questions are used.
  • They are tested and customized for your situation to understand exactly what your brand is facing.
  • We link your challenges to 24 potential areas of communications leverage. To do this, we access about 1,200 strategies to see what matters most.
  • This means you have peace of mind that the process is comprehensive and customized for your circumstances.

Avoid the bias that sometimes affects insights of this nature

  • We have run this across many clients in many industries. After these experiences, our tool was refined to get the relevant information while lessening the bias that can be an issue.
  • This means that there is less influence to slant the findings in a particular direction.

ARE YOU WASTING YOUR RESOURCES ON THE WRONG COMMUNICATION OPPORTUNITIES?

  • Most people do not know that there are 24 communications opportunities. These are levers you can use to grow sales and improve how your brand is perceived.
  • If you do not consider all of them, they may cause your communications campaign to underperform.
  • Typically, people focus on the 7 opportunities that they are most familiar with and ignore the rest. That is because working out which of the 24 opportunities is a priority is complicated.
  • This means that you overspend where you do not need to while ignoring critical opportunities.
  • It would be reassuring to have a process and an algorithm to help you prioritize these opportunities. Comprehensively, fast, and online. Irrespective of the business you are in. So that you do not make the wrong decision.

THE WORKSHOP

  • We will run you through a 2-hour online workshop to identify priority communications opportunities using The Communications Profiler
  • The Communications Profiler helps you quickly identify priority communications opportunities for your specific requirements.
  • We start by confirming the scope of this workshop by selecting the name of a business, product, service, market, and segment you will be reviewing (Useful if you do several of these over time and wish to compare results).

THE REST OF THE QUESTIONS IN THE CATEGORIES WE EXPLORE ONLY REQUIRE A YES OR NO RESPONSE. THESE CATEGORIES INCLUDE:

How well are you known and differentiated?

  • Are you communicating something that is unknown?
  • Do you have an established reputation?
  • Are you perceived as being different?

Each aspect will result in different weightings of priorities.

What is the performance like?

  • How is business? Are sales growing? Are sales declining? Are there market share issues? (We do NOT require actual sales figures at all.)
  • Do we need to change the game to be differentiated?

These all affect how the challenge is pursued due to prevailing obstacles.

How long is the selling cycle?

  • This affects many aspects of prospect availability and how and when we communicate.
  • This has a strong effect on where you prioritize opportunities.

Identify risk levels associated with the purchase

  • It helps to identify the types of perceived risks that need to be mitigated by the communications.

Levels of competitiveness

  • What level of challenge are you facing?
  • How competitive is it?
  • How many communications are there?

This affects a variety of issues simultaneously.

What is your reputation?

  • Is there admiration for the business and its brands?
  • Are there issues to be resolved?
  • What are the levels of trust?
  • In which direction is sentiment moving?

Affects where and how much we place our focus on certain opportunities.

EXPERTISE

  • Areas of expertise include communications strategy, brand strategy, research, and analytics.
  • We have written strategies or have been consulted to understand how a client’s strategy might benefit from a change in direction.

EXPERIENCE

  • This experience has been invaluable in terms of understanding what is likely to work.
  • Equally importantly, it has helped us identify what is likely to fail.

HOW THIS WORKS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE

  • After working on numerous strategies, and going through many campaign debriefs, we noticed that most clients focused almost entirely on creative strategy and media strategy.
  • There was an assumption that communications opportunities were well understood and agreed upon. But this was not accurate.
  • Therefore, a focus on execution before understanding exactly what needed to be done to best fit the business’ challenges was an area that required improvement.
  • We aimed to close this gap by helping to automate the process of translating business challenges into communications opportunities.
  • This helps to prevent a focus on communications opportunities that are unlikely to deliver, while not highlighting other options that may be quite rewarding.
  • We started by identifying the questions to ask to assess the business’ current situation. It had to be comprehensive but easy to answer with Yes/No choices.
  • It also had to eliminate unnecessary questions by customizing questions based on previous responses to make the process faster and simpler.
  • Over 1,200 strategies were used to identify the best opportunities based on the responses provided. This was automated to be comprehensive.
  • Outcomes are then compared to one another and indexed for easy presentation.
  • Explanations of each type of communications opportunity are also provided, just in case.

WILL IT WORK FOR MY SITUATION?

  • This has been tested across different brands and categories.
  • This covers existing businesses and new businesses.
  • It also covers existing products and services, and new products and services.

DOES THIS WORK FOR SERVICES TOO?

  • Yes. In fact, it works especially well for service businesses.
  • It also works well for product businesses with a service component.

HAS IT BEEN TESTED EXTENSIVELY?

Before launching this service, we had successfully tested this approach in over 40 client workshops across different brands and categories.

HOW CAN I TRUST THE RESULTS?

  • We have built-in a variety of fail-safe mechanisms to ensure that one “incorrect” response will not bias the results.
  • We ask many questions and customize these based on your prior responses so that you do not waste your time on a generic questionnaire.
  • Your responses are run against 1,200 potential strategies ensuring we do not miss anything.
