Take the Bitch out the Pitch!
Yay! You’ve been invited to pitch!
Does this sound familiar … ?
The client (who you barely know) briefs you.
The brief is exciting but lacks critical information and strategic insights
You have one week before you are back in front of the client
There are three other agencies pitching – plus the incumbent
You know you can’t start work until you have key category and brand insights
You have no time and no budget to get the insights you need
So you make a few assumptions and build a case based on anecdotal evidence
You and your team put in long hours and use up valuable client time
You hope that your big idea is enough to win the day
85% of the time it is NOT!
Yay! You’ve been invited to pitch!

You call WhyFive and secure exclusive input on your pitch

What an expert says…
“What makes pitches so hard, particularly when the brief from the client is not comprehensive, and when the turnaround time is fast, is that the agency is operating in a vacuum. They are also usually operating in a new category. So the really difficult thing is getting to understand the category, and understanding the consumer within that category, quickly enough in order to inform the strategy and creative development.
WhyFive’s PitchPerfect sounds like it provides these critical insights, quickly, at times that really count.”
