Point of view

How I think about strategy

Short and long term

Advertising works at both ends

Brand building creates emotional connection and differentiation. Activation captures the demand that already exists. A plan that only looks at one end leaves growth on the table. (Binet & Field, The Long and the Short of It)

95 / 5

Most people aren’t buying right now

Only about 5% of people are in the market at any given moment. The other 95% are future buyers, and they are the ones a brand needs to build memory with. (B2B Institute)

Measurement

Measure less, measure better

If any data point can justify any argument, choosing what to measure is a strategic decision. Channel correlation with ROI, awareness with visits, how long sales take to respond. Share of Voice and Share of Search as thermometers, and research institutes for tracking whenever possible.

Craft

A planner needs to know a lot

Analytical skills, research, problem definition, creative briefing, storytelling, digital know-how, team management. But above all, knowing how advertising works.
