  • Head Of Business Development at LIDA NY
    May 2019 - Feb 2020 · 10 mos

    MAKE WORK PEOPLE WELCOME This is LIDA summed up in four words. “Make” because we are a creative agency that is defined by the things we put out into the world. Right through the customer journey, from acquisition to retention to life-long loyalty, it’s the love we put into what we make, that keeps your customers coming back for more. “Work” because getting to great isn’t easy. We work harder to understand your customers better than anyone, so we can make work that truly connects with them. Not that we think of them as ‘customers’. They are people. “People” because we need to see and understand the whole person. Not the slice of them that data lets us see. Understanding the person – their drivers, dreams, doubts and deal-breakers – means we can work out what they need from a brand. What they would welcome. “Welcome” is a strong word to end on. It suggests our communications must not just be well-told, well-timed and well-targeted, but that people must actually want to receive them. Work that is welcomed understands where people are at, and adds value to help them get where they want to be.
