Newsletter: Impact Measurement + Case Study = ? 🤔 ; Zippo is Fighting Fire with Fire 🔥; The Face of this Cancer Bike-a-thon was a Fake 😶
I write case studies for organizations and many have the same challenge: they don't have a lot to say. Getting a few quotes from the partner is expected (and important!). But wouldn't it be great if you had some hard data that the partnership actually worked? That it was actually win-win for both partners.
It's for this reason I'm partnering with Accelerist for a special case study offering for August. Here's how it works.
1. Pick a partnership. You can pick a current, future or even a past partnership (up to 300 days in the past - and not a day more!)
2. Analyze the partnership. This is where Accelerist will work its magic! They'll measure the earned and shared media [What the heck is this?] surrounding the partnership and catalog all other media assets or stewardship activities that support the partnership. They'll even give you a valuation ($$$) of the partnership (think how much your boss will like that!).
3. Write up the partnership. This is where I come in. I'll combine what Accelerist uncovered with a kick-ass interview with the partner to produce a case study that will do what a good case study should do: LAND YOU MORE PARTNERSHIPS.
Think of it this way...
Impact Measurement + Case Study = More Partnerships
The total investment for this package is $3,400. That's a 20% off the normal cost of $4,250. Want a better price? Add 1, 2, 3 or more partnerships and watch the price go DOWN!
