Key clients Beiersdorf Blue Bulls Rugby Union DataDot Contact us Wimpie le Roux T: +27 (82) 770 6742 E: Wimpie.leRoux@draftfcb.co.za Our Strategic Philosophy: The 6.5 Seconds That Matter THE INSIGHT THAT MATTERS We are surrounded by media. We are bombarded with messages. We have become skilled at filtering out the stuff that doesn’t matter to us. Our strategic process starts with identifying what actually matters to consumers in the context of this specific purchase decision. THE PROBLEM THAT MATTERS There is an inherent tension in all strategy between ‘What Matters to the Business’ and ‘What Matters to Consumers’. This is why we always begin our strategic journey with the business problem we are trying to solve. The role of a communication strategist is to find the best bridge between what the business has to offer and what consumers need.

We believe that the communication strategy is not complete when the core idea is cracked. The strategy is only complete when the idea has been mapped onto a consumer decision journey, which ensures we are delivering the right messages, at the right time, to the right people, while maximizing investment. To unlock this journey, we use the Consumer Decision Journey (CDJ) tool. To unlock the magic of CDJ we need insights, which is why we have invested in data analysis and qualitative research. Ideas that Matter The Wheel We are not as separate entities, but rather as a wheel, with disciplines moving and creating in unison through every phase of development, from strategy to execution. It's the most efficient way to get results. Success Session It starts with a meeting to set up our client's business context. Assumptions are challenged. Hypotheses are explored. And success metrics for the business challenge are agreed upon. Strategic Rumble This discipline-neutral two-day session uses the combined brainpower of our clients and senior agency people to determine the strategy that has the best potential for a Return on Ideas. Ideas that Matter The Brief The Brief We uncover the "holy s#!t" statistic and merge it with a compelling insight to develop a strategic brief that inspires the smartest and most innovative creative possible. Creative Rumble The Creative Rumble is a no-holds-barred week in which the best creative resources from the network come together to bring the 6.5 Seconds That Matter to a creative crescendo.
