Thought leadership
and brand strategy
Effective thought leadership demands strong foundations – gaining clarity, establishing focus, delivering against the plan. We'll help you get on the right track.
We can help you nail your strategy across multiple levels. Some clients already have most things sorted and just need help focusing their thought leadership. Others are concerned they appear undifferentiated in their market and want to position themselves to compete more effectively. And some are looking to overhaul their entire brand.
Wherever you’re at, we can help.
Too much thought leadership fails because it is simply a rehash of material that’s already in the market. To customers’ eyes, it’s the same-old, same-old. As a result, it simply passes them by.
When you fail to stand out, the reality is that you’ll have to outspend your competitors to get noticed. Even then, the research shows that roughly half your audience will mistake your content for that of the brand leader.
We believe it’s better to out-think the market than out-spend it.
That’s where our Mapping and Gapping methodology comes in. First, we analyse the competitive landscape – both direct competitors and the competition for headspace – and map out the core themes being used. We then research what customers are concerned about and the challenges they’re wrestling with. Finally, we bring these together to explore possible avenues for profitable thought leadership.
It means we can help you deliver differentiated content that is more relevant, more noticeable and more memorable.
How you position your brand will have a significant impact on everything else you do. The world’s largest study of B2B marketing effectiveness found that marketers who have a differentiated position are 32% more likely to say their lead generation is very effective. They’re also 24% more likely to say their thought leadership content is very effective at meeting their objectives. In fact, those with a strong positioning see greater effectiveness from pretty much every tactic they use.*
Positioning matters. A lot.
Our Fast-Track Positioning programme will help you achieve a more differentiated position in your market. One that will pay dividends across everything else you do.
Sometimes, you need a complete rethink. Maybe the business is pivoting in a new direction. Maybe you’ve merged with another company. Or maybe the competition is eating your lunch.
Whatever the reason, we can work with you to establish a stronger, more enduring brand. From why you are in business to who you really serve to what makes you different – we’ll explore every aspect of how you compete in the market.
We’ll then help you execute this, developing the guidelines and assets you’ll need to go live and stay on track.
We’ve planned, created and promoted world-class thought leadership for brands across technology, manufacturing and professional services. From research reports and technical briefings to benchmarking indices and complete video series, there’s virtually nothing we can’t help you deliver.
If you want to see what thought leadership could really do for your business, we should talk.
