  3-PHASE ITERATIVE QUALITY PROCESS  

Review marketing research and conduct interviews with key brand team managers

The purpose of this first step is to gain insights into the category, customer and company capabilities. The resultant understanding will be utilized to design the Navigator work session. Additionally, in the case of Brand Positioning Development it is used to develop potential BIG Brand Ideas.

Conduct a 2-day Strategic Navigator work session that employs the experiences and judgment of key client team managers

The team should be comprised of marketing, marketing research, sales, product R&D, clinical and agency personnel (as appropriate to the sector and specific subject) to ensure we leverage a broad base of knowledge in developing meaningful marketing strategies (i.e., Brand Positioning, The Essential Creative Brief and Launch Pre-Mortem). Additionally, it will serve to create a shared understanding – which will facilitate execution of the brand’s strategy in the marketplace to bolster likelihood of success.

This includes articulation of the strategy as well as adapting it based on customer feedback.
