Unlock undiscovered growth

Most brands are operating well within their potential. The ones pulling away aren’t spending more – they’re reading their data more clearly, acting on it faster, and proving what works before they scale. 

At Connective3, Marketing Intelligence is a dedicated discipline with two specialist teams – Planning and Measurement – working as one to find the undiscovered growth in your marketing, and to empower your internal teams with the insight, focus and proof to act on it. 

We find the opportunity, prove the return, and amplify across every channel. 

The Growth Map

2% of brands captured 39% of category growth last year

The difference wasn’t the budget. It was clarity about where growth was going to come from, what the data was actually saying, and where to invest to drive more of it. 

Most brands have the data, but very few are using it to make better decisions.

The C3 Growth Map

Protect what’s working, unlock what’s next

Most brands can’t answer the most important question in marketing: where is your growth coming from? We start there. Every starting conversation opens with a diagnosis, not a pitch – so the focus is on protecting what’s already working before we change a thing, then unlock what’s next. 

The C3 Growth Map is how we diagnose this. Nine questions, two disciplines, roughly ten minutes. It scores your maturity, ranks your biggest opportunities by impact, and points to the exact next steps that will move the needle – where you’re strong, where you’re leaving growth on the table, and the key things to focus on first.

One team, two disciplines

Planning and Measurement, working as one

The two halves of the Growth Map are two specialist teams. Planning identifies the opportunity within your market: where to play, who to talk to, what to say. Measurement proves every pound of it: what’s working, what’s incremental, where the next pound should go.  

Strategy sits above your channels, not inside them as a growth and performance amplifier. It sets a single, evidenced direction that the likes of Paid Media, SEO, Content, Digital PR, CRO, Data, and Creative all deliver against. Strategy briefs the channels; the channels don’t brief strategy. 

Our tech stack

Our proprietary stack of tools and tech offer a unique approach to measurement. From brand health, to incrementality, causal impact analysis and marketing mix modelling – we’ve invested heavily in the tech you need to truly measure marketing ROI.
