So what’s a Discovery?
Properly done, a Discovery brings together all the key folks in your company or organization that will be affected by your marketing strategies. Then, using an arcane mixture of pink feathers, post-it notes, spreadsheets, complex mathematical formulas, a PowerBook and eye of newt, we seek consensus on who your principal audiences are.
In short, we get you to talk – and agree – on who the heck it is we’re marketing to.
