Had a great chat today with Gbemi Lolade Adekanmbi in the first of my new (free) content clinics. The focus was on effective and creative solutions to typical comms challenges in employer branding. It was fascinating to hear about Gbemi's experience in (among other things) supporting talent acquisition as a challenger brand in the highly competitive fintech industry. Things we covered in our (slightly longer than!) 15-minute session included: > establishing an early focus with the project team on what success looks like, and pushing/guiding stakeholders/sponsors to set clear goals > visualising (and writing down) a 'post-project report' template right from the start to help ensure the creative brief is outcomes-focused > understanding the simple research steps that can help identify tactics worth testing > effectiveness vs creativity (and the importance of creative analysis to get to a better sense of 'why' something works) Thanks Gbemi for setting up such a thought-provoking discussion with your question.
