Digital Strategy
Vertic’s D.N.A. in management consulting enable us to understand business strategy and translate business objectives into digital solutions. Our proprietary strategic model, Share of Life™, is providing the digital foundation for some of the world’s most powerful brands to excel in a highly competitive environment. Vertic’s strategy approach consists of both quantitative and qualitative research that provide the necessary platform for business models that will entangle the brand with the digital user.
We apply an outside-in focused, customer-centric viewpoint, considering users’ needs and preferences, and mapping critical points in the customer decision journey.
The digital strategy includes a plan of key benefit areas that inform the digital assets and capabilities to be developed, including content, technology platforms, processes and experience.

User Experience & Design Systems
As we conduct more and more of our daily transactions online, it's never been more critical to offer users a seamless, frictionless digital experience that aligns with their daily lives. Users have come to expect an optimized user experience, as a basic requirement, and it's now become a prerequisite implementation strategy across all platforms and devices. Vertic has developed a design framework that utilizes a proprietary approach to the Atomic Design theory. Agnostic across technologies and platforms, this approach enables creative and technology teams to work from a centralized and consistent source, making changes in development simple while dramatically shortening time to market.

Insights & Analytics
Zero degrees of separation is necessary for a longer term, mutually rewarding relationship between the brand and the customer. Vertic has a bespoke approach to accessing, structuring, and analyzing the ever-expanding data classes and sources, as well as inferring actionable insights. Specifically, we focus on combining “small data,” the data proprietary to the brand, and “big data,” the publicly available digital data.
We call this proprietary approach Digital IQ. Digital IQ filters the immense digital footprint into one clear digital voice, reveals the competitive landscape, and showcases opportunities for the brand to achieve its business objectives. After gathering insights, we derive marketing concepts, which we test in a live environment and optimize based on performance data and analytics. By ensuring KPIs are firmly linked to business objectives, we can confidently ensure the business impact of our solutions.
Demand Generation & ABM
According to Forrester, 67% of the buyer’s journey is now done digitally. This significant change in behavior requires brands to rethink their go-to market and demand generation strategies. Structuring our ABM approach within a Share of Life™ mindset, we have identified five key parameters to operationalize an impactful ABM program, referring to them as the C.R.E.E.D. (Commitment, Reinforcement, Empowerment, Excitement, Development).
First we develop the account progression journey, in which we analyze the current product or service engagement and look for opportunities to build a new potential pipeline. We then map the existing account engagement against the products or services that are most relevant for upsell or cross-sell. Our methodology is designed to find and promote the most relevant messages and calls-to-action in order to create a completely new marketing strategy for your brand. From this, corresponding data and insights further inform your sales and account teams.
Corporate Website & eCommerce
The corporate website is becoming increasing important in connecting customers, prospects, career seekers and investors with the company. Reinforced by a DemandGen report showing that 70% of buyers indicated that the vendor’s website is the most influential touchpoint in their decision making, the .com must serve as a one-stop shop for everything connected to your brand.
Vertic has developed a unique methodology that enables companies to transform the corporate website from being a product-centric brochure to a dynamic and individualized experience, aligning with the customer decision journey from first interaction through to eCommerce, and beyond to ongoing customer relationship. Using simplicity, relevancy and usage of technology as key pillars, we are positioned as a thought-leader within the space of corporate websites, releasing our Corporate Website Index on a yearly basis to serve the market with insights about the latest trends and enabling companies to benchmark themselves against their peers.
Marketing-as-a-Service
Our Marketing-as-a-service (MaaS) outsources the brand’s internal digital resources, meeting digital KPIs by executing marketing activities and accountability. We give strategic recommendations for the company’s digital activities and execute the necessary elements, such as content creation, SEO, data analysis, media planning and execution, campaigns, creative, web update, social media, and more. Within this model, we define the purpose of each activity, describe the activity’s execution, create governance models to ensure ownership and accountability, indicate inputs and outputs, and implement the designated programs. The MaaS engagement model can be rolled out globally through our global office network and across time zones.
