Often, these strategies fall flat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there\u2019s no definite reason for this, a compelling explanation comes from the book <em>Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind<\/em> by Al Ries and Jack Trout.

Yet, we keep pouring more information into the minds of our target audience and wonder why our message doesn\u2019t get through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you add more to that dripping sponge, take a step back and rethink your audience and messaging.

You learn, you experiment, you roll. Audrey suggests \u201c<em>using a mix of data to gather real insights, combined with human intuition and creativity.\u201d <\/em>Connect with your audience to understand what works for them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Create a war chest of information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have gradually figured out who your target audience is and how you need to approach them. Bingo! Now, you build a war chest of information. This means writing different versions of your core messaging and testing them so you know what works and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know what the audience likes, you structure the messaging to frame different content pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Audrey explains this with an example. When she started working with her client, a cleaning company in Singapore, she conducted extensive research, including customer interviews and competitor research to identify the key selling points other cleaning companies were using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gradually, she figured out the 50-point cleaning checklist the client referred to in their daily operations. Audrey packaged the checklist into the messaging to highlight the client\u2019s USP and explained how they deliver value.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Create content based on data-driven insights and real customer feedback.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another interesting observation Audrey had while working with the cleaning company was that the customers didn\u2019t want the cheapest service provider because that meant compromising with the quality. So, she repackaged the core messaging from pricing to value.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image15-1-819x1024.png\" alt=\"Strategy first, content second explained by Audrey Chia\" class=\"wp-image-102188\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image15-1-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image15-1-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image15-1-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image15-1-730x913.png 730w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image15-1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Result: <\/strong>This elaborate strategy led Audrey\u2019s client to increase their clickthrough by 5x and build a solid customer pipeline over the years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image6-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image6-1-819x1024.png\" alt=\"Audrey Chia's key tips on branding\" class=\"wp-image-102187\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image6-1-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image6-1-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image6-1-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image6-1-730x913.png 730w, https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image6-1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Strategy 4: Focus on cohesive branding with maximum value (by Noam Nisand)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your audience is smarter than you think.

They want to post content because that\u2019s what everyone else is doing. This kind of approach does more harm than good.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/chinenyeokwuoha\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Chinenye Okwuoha<\/a>, a nutritionist turned health communications designer, explains that healthcare brands couldn\u2019t care less about colour, font, tagline, or the type of imagery they should use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Impact? Low patient engagement. When patients don\u2019t understand the visuals or the content, they wouldn\u2019t want to know more about your service. In fact, some patients might even doubt your expertise or whether you have understood their concerns correctly.

She then analyzes whether the brand assets align with their target audience. For example, a client serving elderly people has no business using a bold red colour and a handwriting font. They might associate the red color with danger. Chinenye ensures that the brand visuals are relevant and personalized to the target audience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Removing unnecessary medical terminologies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Medical jargon and boring stats just take up space. They don\u2019t make you connect with your audience. Chinenye recommends swapping medical terminologies and facts with stories and anecdotes to make the messaging more convincing and relatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Improving the visuals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the content is sorted, it\u2019s time to improve the visuals to make the content pop.
