The Intelligent Campaign approach was originally created in response to both selling and marketing demand for better returns on both their business investments. It is founded upon our Business Growth principle of compelling proposition and strategy and utilises issues and business benefits to create demand.

An intelligent campaign uses a research led principle that has be qualified against your selling proposition. It is validated by the issues and pains of a market or key contact depending upon the level of detail or accuracy you wish to pursue. Above all, the proposition is quantified through the use of the research, thus making you campaign more attractive to those that are the target – it is real to them, and they understand the issue.

An intelligence led campaign, that now reduces the sales cycle, engages directly from a compelling proposition and improves the level of lead quality.
