Overview

A recent survey of 1,200 marketers around the world revealed that over 70% of marketing campaigns fail to deliver intended results. Why such a high fail rate? Experience tells us that how well a project ends is largely determined by how well a project begins. 

That’s why we’ve developed the Discovery Toolkit. Initially designed to address our own need to kick off brand strategy assignments efficiently and collaboratively, the Discovery Toolkit has been proven to help teams coalesce around common objectives and opportunities, greatly increasing the likelihood of a campaign’s success. 

The exercises in this Discovery Toolkit have been tinkered with and refined many times over. After putting them to the test in a variety of contexts for a myriad of clients, we’re presenting them here in a package that we hope will be accessible and helpful to everyone who picks it up.
