The New Supply & Demand Toolbox
THE PARTNERSHIP
Combining the best practices of Spotco marketing with Level Forward’s award-winning impact services, integrated and coordinated from early planning through execution and measurement, the New Supply and Demand toolbox gives storytellers and producers access to a powerful and precedent-setting suite of resources.
From unique information and analysis tools, proprietary research, stakeholder and audience development services, as well as creative, messaging, and positioning informed by community leaders and experts, the New Supply and Demand toolbox includes See Forward, our newly launched research panel, access to insights and strategy services from the Level Forward Impact Advisory Group and the Storytelling For Social Good workshop.
Designed to increase efficiency, eliminate waste, and maximize results, the NSD toolbox includes:
- Audience, stakeholder, and narrative analysis giving clients an early sense of whom they should be working to engage and how to build trust with critical constituents who can be both a make-or-break factor as well as stewards and surrogates through unforeseen opportunities and challenges
- Messaging, creative, outreach, and partnerships which identify the various languages and priorities and means of communicating across various audience and stakeholder segments
- Media planning, press strategy, ancillary content, dialogue, & context to establish various on-ramps for diverse levels of access and engagement, to deepen the conversations, and propagate the word of mouth
- Ticketing, pricing, activations, & calls to action that create seamless incremental connections with a production or brand
- Measurement & recommendations to make adjustments in real time
