Great brand strategy work often lives in notebook scribbles, messy Miro boards, and a hundred half-formed Post-its. Turning that into a clean, compelling case study is an art! The goal is to make the value obvious and to give the client you're presenting to confidence that you can run a brand strategy process for them. After selling brand strategy projects for over 20 years, here are my tips.
1. Understand what you have permission to share
You want to promote your work, but you must protect your reputation too. Don't share anything without client approval. Read your NDA and always reach out to clients before you publish something about them on your website or in any marketing materials. Mask sensitive data, get approvals, and avoid proprietary numbers when unnecessary. Anonymized categories still sell your capability and give a new client reassurance that you will be a safe pair of hands.
