Our process for developing customer centric growth strategies

Step One: Brief development

Looking to increase market share? Breaking into new territories? Want to ensure your next move in the market drives significant growth? It all starts with helping us to understand the objectives you’re working towards.
Our strategic foundations team collect primary and secondary insights into your existing markets and customer segments. Armed with these insights, we develop a state of play report detailing current capabilities, emerging market trends and a series of growth hypotheses.
Assess the potential influence of pulling each lever at your disposal – in isolation, in tandem and at different intervals – to measure the impact on your organisation and growth projections.
We present a consolidated growth strategy that leans on the optimal levers for success, leveraging tactical execution insights from quant & qual research to reduce vulnerability and maximise effect.
We devise an execution strategy for each lever and map the opportunities to scale up alongside progression. You can either pull the levers independently or work alongside our strategy team to gain deeper insights into tactics, deployment channels and positioning for each individual lever.
