THE AMSTERDAM BUREAU OF
STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION
& MARKETING 2.0

A TALE OF
TWO SERVICES:
THE WOLF & THE EGG

Anno 2012 GREAT THINGS COME … … to those who tell great stories. Continually, not just in campaign
moments. And, as a logical consequence of business strategy.
It’s your evolution to business 2.0.

MEET THE WOLF

Sometimes you just need a problem solved. We do emergency rescue for time-critical marketing and communication 2.0 projects. We give you sanity checks on stubborn ones. And help you approach your next big 2.0 project with the right knowledge and insight.

We know the rules inside-out: from targeting and technology, through positioning and proposition, managing multiple personas and decision cycles to SEO, structure and storylining.

We consult as the Wolf

We solve your problem. Or show you how to solve it yourself. In and out. The best results, in the shortest time. Polite, savvy and supportive. Why ‘Wolf?’ Check out this scene from Tarantino’s classic movie Pulp Fiction. Winston Wolf is the one you want on speed dial when the pressure is on.

We consult in B2B, ICT, Professional services (including management consulting), Media, Gov’t and Non-Profit. For agencies we brief, structure and storyline to lower production costs and boost quality.

“2.0 marketing and communication problems solved. In a timely fashion: from websites and apps, briefings to buy-in, strategic direction to proposals.”

INTRODUCING THE EGG

Sometimes you need to RETHINK & REBUILD your full marketing and communications strategy in light of the social web: deliver more value to empowered customers, foster relationships, and measurably realise goals. For that, you need a sustainable approach. Buzzwords like ‘viral’, ‘connections’ or ‘tribes’ really don’t help. They obscure the fact that content is the currency of the social web. That’s the Egg of Columbus. Content is the fuel for content marketing and social media marketing. Great content delivers intrinsic value to you and your customers and stakeholders. If you want to establish thought leadership, improve customer satisfaction or generate new business, then publishing Great Content is the key.


The Egg

Yes, there are challenges …

• How do you align your content with business objectives?

• How do you accommodate individual personas and buying cycles, as well as mass markets?

• How do you figure out what content is valuable for each target audience?

• How do you connect their needs with your value proposition?

• How do manage it over time?

… but we’ve solved them!

We’ve spent more than four years (in the lab and field) developing a strategic marketing and communication process to develop Great Content. Plus, we’ve developed the trainings to transfer the knowledge and skills to your business.


What does Great Content look like?

COMING SOON! Free download: The Anatony of Great Content: a framework to help you assess whether your content is ‘Great’ or not!

THE GREAT CONTENT PROCESS

We slice and dice your strategic marketing and communication challenge into manageable and joined-up pieces. We define ‘Great Content’ for you - and your target audiences.

Your Editorial Plan shows you what to publish, for who, to reach your goals.

Your Publishing Plan helps you effectively manage and brief content creation. Includes training to manage and use the plans - and create content.

Many of our clients use their plans as the strategic foundation for all their annual social communication programs and campaigns. This shortens lead times, improves the quality of your briefings, lowers costs - and improves results too!

COST: From Euro 35K pending scope

VALUE: Thought Leadership | New Business | Customer satisfaction & Loyalty
