You Don't Know Who You're Talking To! 🤔 Believe it or not, most creative strategies fall flat because they ignore the most basic principle: knowing your audience. It's shocking how many pitches go into the room blind, without a clue about who's sitting on the other side of the table. Understanding your audience isn't just courtesy; it's strategy. Without this foundational insight, you're essentially shooting arrows in the dark, hoping to hit a target you can't even see. Dive deep into their world—what makes them tick, what keeps them up at night, and what they dream of achieving. Miss this step, and you've already lost before you've begun.

Understanding your audience is like being a good friend who listens attentively, empathises deeply, and knows exactly what to say to make them feel understood and valued. Knowing your audience means - You can speak their language - Address their concerns - And, highlight the aspects that truly matter to them.

I've noticed a tendency to rush into solutions without fully grasping the intricacies of the problem at hand. Using 5W+H questions tool—What, Who, When, Where, Why, How— is extremely effective. Starting with "What is the problem, Who is experiencing it, Where and When does it occur, Why is it problematic," we can develop an understanding of the landscape. To delve deeper, we can phrase more 5W questions to explore causative factors and impacts. This iterative approach helps us gain comprehensive insights into the problem landscape. With this understanding, we can transition easily into the ideation by asking, "How might we help?" This ensures that the problems are defined and the solutions are targeted. Articulation becomes easier.

Your Problem-Solution Pitch Is Weak! 💡 Here's a reality check: if your problem and solution aren't crystal clear, your pitch is doomed. It's astonishing how many proposals beat around the bush, presenting vague problems and nebulous solutions. Your pitch needs to be sharp as a tack—define the problem with precision and present your solution as the only logical answer. This clarity isn't just for your audience's understanding but for establishing your proposal's credibility, relevance, and uniqueness. Anything less is just noise.

We can establish that storytelling is essential. If you're not defining the problem and solution, you're not setting the scene. Imagine a novel that doesn't do set and setting? Does it make sense? You'd be lost and the details wouldn't paint the picture.

99 problems...chose one at a time. Although you may be confident that your product can be the solution for many problems, choose one problem and one solution when building out your strategy. At least for starters, this helps to build clear credibility and market differentiation. when you understand the value of your solution as it relates to the audience's problem, you are able to effectively build out a conversation with them. The more targeted, less vague you are in your strategy, the more powerful and unique your solution.

You're Boring Your Audience to Death! 💤 Let's face it, nobody wants to sit through another monotonous pitch. If you're not using storytelling, you're essentially asking your audience to tune out. Storytelling isn't just fluff; it's a critical engagement tool that turns your proposal from forgettable to captivating. A well-crafted story can transport your audience, making them see the world through your lens and, most importantly, care. Fail to leverage this, and you might as well be speaking to an empty room.

One does not need an elaborative or complex storytelling technique. Having a narrative is your way of keeping check that the information is delivered to the audience in a sequential manner so as to not lose them in the middle. Storytelling enables you to spin the narrative in a way that you seem best to convince and convey your objective to the audience. The trick is in the nuances that can transform any ordinary pitch into a stellar story.

Stories are great ways to connect with people. Integrate storytelling into your pitch to convey your creative strategy in a compelling and memorable way. Start with a captivating hook to grab attention, then unfold your narrative with a clear beginning, middle, and end.

Michael Jordan visualized hitting the game winner way before he actually ever did. You're illuminating the light at the end of the tunnel. You're showing them the GPS, and talking about the landmarks you'll see and the milestones you'll reach. It's exciting! And illuminating the path reduces the unfamiliar. The unfamiliar is the anxiety that turns into "no's". The more visceral your story feels for the use case, defined by your audience, you will have them halfway started down the path before the meeting is even over.

The hook is most important part of everything--your first date, your first few seconds of a presentation, when you walk into a new restaurant, etc. Use the power of narrative storytelling to fuel an engaging story with your audience. I like to use Hero's Journey in my work, and always make the audience the hero, not the brand. Your product/your brand is the tool that helps the hero/the audience live their best life. Keep them at the center of the story. Customers are people and people like to hear and engage with stories about themselves.

Your Message Is a Hot Mess! 🙈 Complicated doesn't mean intelligent. In fact, in the world of pitching, it's the kiss of death. If your audience needs a dictionary to understand your proposal, you've already failed. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Your ability to distill complex ideas into digestible, compelling messages is what sets you apart. Use visuals, metaphors, and analogies to clarify and captivate. Ignore this, and your message will be as clear as mud.

Your creatives should be simple and to the point. It should not have complicated anecdotes and jargon. Every person should be able to access it and understand it. By simplifying your message, you facilitate decision-making and enable your audience to grasp the value of your creative strategy quickly.

When creating the marketing strategy, it's tempting to type out every single little word and detail and worry that your point might not get across otherwise. With marketing strategy, you need every word so the details aren't lost. Well, I think that kinda says it right there. better yet: "Effective messaging = Effective results"

Refine. Rinse. Repeat. Using visuals and syntax technique to build out an engaging message that aids in digestibility for your audience will help you win them over. Quality over quantity.

You're Not Ready to Pitch! 🚫 Think you're ready to pitch just because you've finished your slides? Think again. A pitch without practice is like going into battle unarmed. The difference between a good pitch and a great one lies in the refinement—the relentless pursuit of clarity, confidence, and impact. Feedback is your best friend here; it's the forge in which your pitch is tempered into something formidable. Skip this step, and you're essentially walking in with your guard down, unprepared for the challenges ahead.

Slow down. Breathe. Seriously. Breathe. The practice is essential in refinement. It's essential in ensuring you're consistent. Just like storytelling and Michael Jordan, visualize your success in this stage. What does a successful pitch look like, feel like. What questions do you get, how do you prepare for those. and BREATHE.

Don't let ego be the one to tell you your pitch is ready for delivery. Use colleagues, friends, and family to spin off ideas. Also, now that we're in the age of AI--chat with your favorite AI companion. Ask it questions like: What is your single takeaway from my pitch to you? How clear is my solution to you? What information do you feel like you're missing? What counterarguments do you have to this pitch? All of these questions will help you identify holes in your content and overall arrive a more compelling, impenetrable strategy.
