How to Win Pitches and Inspire Projects with Data-Driven Personas
Using personas as target audience descriptors helps inspire clients, creatives, and internal marketing stakeholders, but if you want to win pitches or get marketing projects approved, inspiration is no longer enough. Clients and managers demand more and more that target audiences be based on facts and figures – and rightfully so.
Enjoy a detailed, hour-long discussion on:
- Gathering credible and high-quality data;
- Convincing stakeholders using personas;
- Building a fact-based foundation for competitive advantage;
- and more
Glocalities’ Martin Schiere and KesselsKramer’s Diederik Sjardijn delve into a real-life Timberland case study to show how they use data and insights to build the fact-based personas necessary for a comprehensive strategy. Their thinking? “We spend an average of 150 hours on each pitch, so we better make sure they count.”
The fine line between winning and losing pitches lies in having the right data and understanding what it means for the brand.
