1. Brief
First we listen to you. Then we listen to others and have a look
inside & out. We draw a map of the environment in which you
evolve. What is your profile, who are your clients or service users,
what do they look like, where are your competitors standing, what
are your products, what image do you want to project, how are you
really perceived by your public... we are going to be very honest.
For your own good.
We use all the modern information gathering techniques and analysis
methods such as image/identity measuring, structural and sectoral
analysis, opinion polls, 360 evaluations... and a lot of down to
earth common sense.
2. Core issues
What do you really need? At this stage, having gone through the
information gathering and briefing process, we identify your real
needs, because what you WANT might not always be what you really
NEED.
Example: you have this nice new product and want to advertise it
on TV. But your clients don't have TV sets. They are somewhere deep
in the village. Somebody has to tell you. It's us.
3. Strategy
Now you know where you stand. And you now know where you want to
go. How? How are you going to get from A to B? At this point, we
decide which communication and advertising tools to use and on the
manner they will be implemented.
Radio spots, brochures, billboards, press ads, together we have
understood which channels will effectively reach your public. But
will they react the way you expect them to? Most probably, because
we also came up with the right message, in tune with your public's
values and representations. Because you don't choose just any colour.
There always has to be a reason why.
4. Actions
This is the visible part of the iceberg and also the most gratifying
one. The strategy takes shape and solidifies into perceptible items.
It's finally the moment to follow the well defined action plan and
time table. Now, and only now, it's time to go to the printers,
upload the website and hang up those posters.
5. Evaluation
All your communication and advertising actions have been launched.
But do they hit the target as expected? Let's evaluate, before it's
too late... What is the feedback? Are we on track? The sooner we
know what's happening, the better. We then correct and fine tune
the strategy without having to undergo structural changes in order
to guarantee the finest results.
