We talk about:

  • The convincing that needs to be done to help your client see the solution.
  • The three important moments in a brand strategy process:
    • The first is the brand workshop. It is the essential starting point for each project.
    • The second is the truth session. Challenge all of the assumptions made in the workshop with your research.
    • The third is the brand strategy presentation.
  • Involve the clients in the process.
  • First, explore the problems and research, and then begin defining the values and purpose of the company.
  • You need to back up your thoughts and opinions with actual data.
  • Making it tangible will make it realistic.
  • Showing examples will take away fears and add reality.
  • Use data to support your opinion.
  • You’re not on the sidelines, and neither are they.
  • Is it ever possible to be 100% sure?
