Torque’s Tribal Intelligence® is the result of this deep inquiry into each community. We use this following framework to help our clients establish their Tribal Intelligence.

Discover Habitat

Find where the tribe goes to learn acquire, express and commune. Map the places where they spend time and seek contact, where they can be reached meaningfully by web, events, print, media, email

 

Script

Create reinforcing communications that uniquely compel, and are used at the touch points where customers converge. The Value promise is presented consistently across the most relevant web 2.0, mass, direct, sales, event and customer service programs
