Leveraging is key!

The deal has been closed, the details have hit the financial press, your boss is smiling, the client dinner is booked, and the Deal Toy is on its way. But how do you leverage your deal celebration to its fullest potential?

All too often in the industry, the culture to hit “reset” and march into the next pitch without a moment to pause leaves a low-hanging opportunity to market the company’s latest deal unrealized.

You have already made the investment in the Deal Toy, a meaningful gift and symbol of the work and achievement of the team, with a few short tips you can have it work even harder for your brand and have others inspired to reach out for their next deal or potential future employer.

Ensure this is public.

  • Marketing your latest deal isn’t always a given. Private deals may need to skip content marketing unless the team wants to acknowledge the deal and create content that doesn’t disclose the guarded details

Get the right team involved.

  • To the point above, make sure your client, your own council, leadership and marketing teams are across this initiative. They may want to take control here and for your own bandwidth, it might pay to hand the execution to another team and support if and when requested.

Workshop content ideas.

  • The celebration of a deal can spin-off a lot of content ideas. Brainstorm as many as you can then start to edit as you tackle relevance, goals and scope.
    • How did the deal come about
    • What led to the closing of the deal
    • How the team came up with design ideas to celebrate
    • How the piece is produced
    • The event or closing dinner
    • An unboxing video for when the Deal Toys arrive
    • Social media reactions to the Deal Toy or to the deal
    • Images of the pieces on the team’s desk or with the client
