One day I received the following compliment.
A communications manager said: ‘I now feel more confident making a choice, because I know my clients better. This helps my company develop, as well as myself.’
Connecting the dots
As a marketing or communications sepcialist, you want to see a clear path ahead. What to expect from which customer segments? How to address and convince them? In short, you want to connect the dots. Especially when you think there aren’t any dots at all. Or worse: too many dots and no logic to connect them.
I challenge people to let go of the usual thoughts and ideas, to wear someone else’s glasses. I like to demonstrate how a market offers potential to a company in a way the company didn’t see before. Not simply by telling them, but by showing it.
I always aim for the future and new plans, and highlight existing things that go well. In addition, I help companies think and communicate about sustainability issues and the way to nudge their clients into a behavioural change.
It’s a bonus when I manage to surprise my clients with the added insights.
