The subject, as explored by Rand Fishkin and the Moz team highlights a common problem, particularly for more niche industries and services. Rand’s solution to the issue effectively repeated one of StrategiQ’s key mantras; It is essential that we understand our clients needs.
The Whiteboard Friday highlighted five key questions.
- Who is the Target Audience?
- What Else Do They Search For?
- Where Do They Go/What Do They Use/To Whom Do They Listen?
- What Types of Content Have Achieved Broad/Viral Distribution Among This Audience?
- Should Brand Advertising Be In Our Considerations Set?
And Rand was able to form creative ideas as a response.
Our key takeaway from last week’s Whiteboard Friday was the importance of understanding a brand or service’s industry. Once we identify this and establish a firm understanding, then creative opportunities will present themselves.
