#BIGstars

The approach moves from identification to

understanding, stimulating activation against the hard

support

Identifythe hard support in your current data based on

their preference and performance of the category and

brand.

Then Understand the hard support in Demographic &

Psychographic terms; their attitudes and behaviors

toward the category and how they purchase/consume it

(occasions, market dynamics, substitutes, etc).

Use understanding to drive plans to rebuild momentum

by activating with programs that focus on key

consumption occasions and activate the Hard Support

drivers of choice to win more occasions.

4. Play offense

#BIGstars

“There were two

hits in the fight.

I hit him.

And he hit the

floor.”-Muhammed Ali, heavyweight

Champion

+

#BIGstars

Use change to get control of the

dialogue.

Never meet armies with armies.

Discipline and speed win.

Everything communicates.

The most powerful propaganda is the

truth.

Be bold, for there’s magic in it!
