Strategy Boost™ has Lift-Off!

Strategy Boost™ has Lift-Off!

We just created an exciting ‘lift-off’ for one of our clients with our new program Strategy Boost™ and I’m so excited to share what I witnessed. By using just two Strategic Focus tools in this one-day workshop (Market Mapping and Target Audience Bulls-eye), we were able to isolate our client’s a unique role in their market and define a unifying view of their primary, secondary and tertiary audiences creating immediate clarity for enhancing their program offering, marketing and messaging and partners.

To give you a sense of what a difference one day can make, take a look at the comments made at the start and at the end of this one-day Strategy Boost™ workshop.
