Listen Better
Listen to Clients, Servicing Guys, Creative Folks, Research Teams, Sociologists,
Anthropologists, Futurologists, most importantly, Consumers.
Listen carefully, search for nuances, hidden meanings, deep unexplored insights...

Empathise with Consumers
Remove filters, biases, prejudices, preconceived notions, stereotypes, opinions,
generalizations & half-baked hypotheses. Start with an honest, open mind,
put yourself in the consumers’ shoes, think and feel like them…

Learn to deal with Ambiguity
Don’t search for easy solutions, don’t settle for quick answers,
live a while with uncertainty,
grapple with ambiguity, probe deeper, look from multiple perspectives…

Experiment
Try different approaches in unearthing insights, alternative tactics to observe consumers, multiple options for strategic solutions,
innovative ways of briefing creative teams, interesting support for creative development…

Go beyond Words
Use pictures, videos, films, characters, cultural references, live experiences,
actual product demonstrations, simulated behaviour patterns to stimulate consumer responses,
communicate to creative teams, sell ideas to clients…

Have a Point of View
Basis consumer understanding & insight, develop a clear Point of View, essential for
differentiated strategy and breakthrough creative. Be honest and brave in
being the Consumers’ Champion…

Shun Mediocrity
The good is the enemy of the great. Playing safe is the most dangerous option!
Without a powerful untapped insight,
a differentiated strategy and a breakthrough creative based on these, the communication effort and money
will yield suboptimal results…

Play a Team Game
Fruitful Collaboration is a Key Success Factor. Partnering Creative Teams,
Supporting Research experts, and sharing responsibility with Servicing Managers helps the process and enhances the output…

Build Strong Working Relationships
To get the best research output, to inspire outstanding creative work, to obtain full support from Servicing and to gain Client’s total confidence, Planners need to build strong relationships based on
professional respect and personal trust…

and cross-fertilize even more ideas…
