4. Profile
Planners listen, uncover hidden truths, articulate, distill, clarify, and simplify. Planners - when
using their best storytelling magic - can make us feel found.
In one of my business classes every student was assigned to take the Gallup strengthsfinder test.
We were to discover our strengths and hopefully avoid making the wrong job choice.
My top strength as I discovered was empathy.
And then I discovered Account Planning, a discipline that strives on the ability to put yourself
into consumers shoes and understand their pain points, what they love to do, what is important to
them and why. Once you know that you can create a relevant connection to the consumer though the
brand.
As a planner I strive to find the psychological, cultural, or social tension people have with an
idea that challenges them from a brand perspective. What is more memorable - an idea that causes
tension by challenging convention or one that fits neatly into a sea of normal?
Challenging ideas that break through the clutter of messaging people encounter, online and offline
are the ideas that get noticed. And everyone wants to get noticed whether it’s people or brands.
