KEY TAKEAWAYS
There is no more powerful marketing tool than focusing in upon your ideal customer, and making them seem as attractive as possible to all other customers. This was the belief behind FHM, which marketed to 25 year-old men, and made all other men desirous of their status. Attraction comes through focus. By pinpointing your specific archetype, you increase not only awareness, but interest. So much of business is about relationships. If you have time to spend on any pursuit, it should always be in building the bridges and foundations that can take you higher. Zeroing in on our core values is crucial, as are the behaviours we adopt. But when we define our business strategy, we should not ignore it. It should be the lens through which we see each decision.
BEST MOMENTS
‘If you’re in a market that’s floating up, it’s always a good place to be’
’25 looks like a hell of a lot of fun!’
’The more focused you are, the more you please everyone’
‘We need to encapsulate in a sentence, our purpose. What is it that we as a company do?'
