Create fuel for early new biz conversations. Resist the temptation to be contrarian or obtuse. Come with a point of view about the hidden strengths of the brand or the audience. Ask the new biz team what the top target clients are and design for them.
The most compelling strategy contribution to a pitch win I have seen this year was a strategy team who presented a well researched, high energy ten minutes on the overlooked strengths and capabilities of the target audience. They sealed the pitch in the chemistry meeting.
