Strategy & Vision

NEOs (New Economic Order consumers), developed and refined over the last 20 years by Dr. Ross Honeywill. account for a significant portion of discretionary spending. In fact, they spend 300% more than Traditionals on discretionary items. NEOs represent about 24% of the population but are responsible for the majority of discretionary spending, from premium experiences and new technology, to travel and wellness. They are the driving force behind many of the world’s most successful brands, and the consumers driving the two-speed economy.
The NEO typology combines spending propensity data with neuroscience to uncover what drives their purchasing behaviour.
Using the leading consumer database, Roy Morgan Single Source, Dr. Ross Honeywill identified the attitudes, values and behaviours that drive this desire economy. He created an algorithm to define NEOs on Roy Morgan Single Source, determining their media habits, preferred brands, geographical locations, and shopping behaviours.
As a result:
Our partnership with Dr Honeywill means we can develop a proposition, marketing and acquire customers for you who are prepared to spend more, more frequently and become loyalists, who are then your most potent advertising channel.

Business DNA, Branding & Perception

Branding is everything you do and everything you say, and at it’s best is founded on a well articulated DNA.
We help you define your unique brand DNA, ownable language, and distinct stories that best portray what is most valuable about you.
A well crafted brand DNA helps build your competitive advantage, keeps you true to what you believe in, and ensures your proposition is clearly understood. It also ensures all your brand custodians are best placed to consistently leverage what is most unique about your business. This approach is used by some of the most profitable companies to create pricing power and long term growth.
As a result:
Your team and broader network of brand custodians are aligned and inspired, and you are better positioned to attract and retain higher value customers.

When your strategy and competitive advantage is clear, success is dependent on rapid implementation and effective change management.
Applying the Mindshop Change Success Model and proven frameworks we work collaboratively with you to develop a 90 Day Execution Plan, that considers required resources, barriers to success, budget commitments and appropriate metrics.
The 90 day focus creates momentum, and a format to regroup regularly to measure progress and overcome hurdles as a team.

Metrics are determined for each step in the journey and a 90 Day implementation plan is created to maximise team alignment and results.
As a result:
Your team will provide an exceptional customer experience that leads to higher rates of conversion, retention and lifetime value.
