Does Your Organization Sound Like This?

 

I'm worried we're not bold enough to be noticed

Unfortunately, many businesses are now led by executives two or more generations removed from the founder. These leaders are often more worried about maintaining the status quo than disrupting it to make a real impact. We, as leaders, need the inspiration, motivation, and know-how to behave more courageously.

We’re not reaping big benefits from word of mouth

Creating advertising is a very different skill set than creating advocates. Brand advocates purchase more and usually pay full price. They don't require constant media and markdowns to transact. They give you the benefit of the doubt when you make mistakes. Advocates forgive and defend your actions.

Our customer insights aren’t creating competitive advantage

Successful brands have actionable insights into the audience segments that enable them to enhance the emotional and rational drivers that affect engagement. Mediocre brands rely on intuition or satisfactions metrics such as NPS, and fail to provide sufficient predictive or prescriptive intelligence to inform crucial decisions. 

Improve How You Allocate Resources.


Through our immersive, application-focused workshops, we help business owners and brand leaders benchmark their current strategies against best-in-class examples, and recommend alternatives ways to organize teams, allocate discretionary funds, and measure impact. Participants gain the knowledge necessary to begin to close the gap between the brand’s current and desired state, and leave with numerous action items based on their results from our proprietary cult brand scorecard.
