Win Before The RFP

We shape major contracts by influencing decision makers with capture campaigns that leverage CIA tradecraft and behavioral psychology.

Need Identified

Everyone knows the importance of shaping. But how do you really engage and convince decision makers early in the process? It takes a mastery of customer need. Most contractors struggle to nail down exactly what the customer is wrestling with–tech, workflows, and the often-neglected culture, mindset, personalities, values, aspirations, and barriers. This causes a cascading series of incomplete messages and solutions that fail to stick. You've missed your opportunity to win. 

Campaigns tailored to your customer's exact needs via personality profiling, message development, sales funnels, video production, social media posts, direct emails, engagement analytics, landing pages, conference strategies, recruiting videos.

Imagine

Well before the RFP is released, you've stopped chasing the customer because they're chasing you. Why? Because your campaign of perfectly tailored messages and stories made the customer realize you're the only path to success.

You've already made an impact. Your customer is deeply impressed by your message and solution.
