Trajectory.

Where is it heading?

Where the company is actually heading, specific enough to give content gravity.

The stage, in three

Where you are. Where you're heading. What content does.

  1. 1

    Where you are

    An honest read of today's position in the market.

  2. 2

    Where you're heading

    A specific destination, with a date on it, that the audience would recognise in three years.

  3. 3

    What content does

    Every piece closes the gap between the two. Nothing drifts.

The test

Could a competitor claim the same destination? A real trajectory has a timescale, a market position and proof.

Without it

Content drifts. 'Market leader' claims any company could make, and nobody remembers.

With it

A specific destination three years out, which sets the ceiling for content.

Questions we ask in the room

  1. Where will your company be in three years, specifically?
  2. What does success look like to your audience?
  3. What will your market look like when you've succeeded?
  4. What would competitors say about you if you achieve it?
  5. Is this trajectory real, or aspiration?

A year on, and every piece still points the same way: delivery.
