Developing a comprehensive long-term marketing strategy for a major automotive client entering the competitive EV market is no small feat. Traditionally, this task demands months of work from multiple teams. The intricate process involves extensive consumer insight research, creative brainstorming, and strategic alignment. Merkley+Partners faced this exact challenge and needed a solution to streamline their efforts without compromising on quality.
The traditional approach to strategic planning is labor-intensive. It requires the coordination of various departments, from market research to creative development. The time commitment is substantial, often stretching over several months. This extended timeline not only delays project delivery but also incurs high costs due to multi-team salaries. Moreover, relying heavily on intuition without the ability to objectively verify ideas with data can lead to inefficiencies and strategic misalignment.
