Game Changing Isn’t Game Winning

We love game changers. They drive the world forward. They are the natural force in national selection. They are the good guys of business. And I want them to win. I want them to end up on top.

But, often they don’t. Because game changing and game winning don’t automatically go together. (more…)

Match Words and Pictures

Talking things out can be a time waster. Especially when we imagine that once we agree on the words that all is solved, never suspecting that the pictures in our heads are not the pictures in other people’s heads. One of the most useful things we do with clients is simply to match words and pictures.

This simple process is so rare and such an effective shortcut to better communication that I would seriously recommend it to relationship counselors for serious consideration! (more…)

Growth Key: Brand A Category/Incite A Local Response

Initially tapped to launch and test local response marketing campaigns for Recyclebank, DIGO soon recognized that a brand positioning obstacle stood in the way of growth. A series of insights quickly surfaced a huge opportunity. There is a “rewards program” category. Consumers understand this. Recyclebank can own a positioning as the rewards program for green actions. We translated this positioning into the campaign theme “The Only Rewards Program Endorsed By Planet Earth.”

We answer the first question of every communication, “Says who?” This statement packs a lot of messaging into a tight space and frees up the advertising to promote local registration. We tested a multi-channel plan in matched markets, augmented with guerilla tactics and a robust, continuously optimized, geo-targeted digital campaign. Recyclebank is off and running with powerful buzz, positive press, and rising registrations in the target communities.


Digo Brands Multi-Tracking

You’ll find this works in most situations. Typically, there is an ideal. It may even be attainable. People may not be clear about how long it will take to get there, but they are enamored of it. Most teams, left to their own devices, will ruminate on this project of getting to the ideal for weeks, months, even years.

On the other hand, there is the attainable. The immediate opportunity. The low-hanging fruit. This is not a bitter fruit at all, but typically a quite tasty variety at the peak of ripeness, and within easy reach. Yet people will sit under that tree and plan for next year’s harvest and let those cherries rot on the vine. (more…)

DIGO Hearts The Middle Market

The Middle Market. We love it. Agencies seem to all dream the same dream. Do some great work for smaller clients and then win a bigger client, and perhaps another until you are huge enough to sell out, if you haven’t already. Just another scheme for using (more…)
