Don’t Sell. Draw Clients to You.
A practical workshop on how to market your design business using thought leadership, based on real client insights from the ‘What Clients Think’ Report 2023*.
We know that 88% of clients like to ‘discover’ a new agency rather than feel sold to (from Up to the Light’s ‘What Clients Think 2022’ report). Therefore, it’s all about how to draw clients to you, as opposed to conventional techniques of breaking down doors.
To win the market, studios, agencies and creative businesses need to up their game with efficient thought leadership or high-quality marketing content strategies.
This practical workshop will focus on developing your studio’s/agency’s voice leveraging your brand authority and creating content to position your business in a way that will attract clients to you – like moths to a flame!
Using best-in-class thought leadership techniques, based on real client insights, you will learn:
- How to develop a more effective, joined-up approach to your studio’s/agency’s marketing content.
- How to create a measurable approach so that you can see a return on investment.
- How to ensure that the agency develops a distinctive and authentic voice that reinforces its positioning.
- How clients are viewing this type of content, what attracts their attention and what turns them off.
- Examples of worst and best-in-class marketing content from agencies.
Join Design strategist Jonathan Kirk of Up to the Light (authors of the What Clients Think Report) for an exclusive online workshop on redefining your agency’s marketing approach from selling to drawing clients to you through Thought Leadership, based on client insights from the 2023 What Clients Think Report*.
