Strategy & Positioning

ICP & Market Research

Strategy, creative and performance, built as one growth system. Scoped as a standalone project or run inside a Solando engagement.

Who your best-fit customer actually is and how they think, buy, and choose. Evidence, not personas.

What it is

Most agencies produce “buyer personas” that read like demographic wishlists. That’s not research. That’s stereotyping.

Real ICP research is structured investigation into who your best-fit customers actually are, what triggers them to buy, how they evaluate alternatives, what language they use to describe the problem, and where they discover solutions.

The output isn’t a persona document. It’s a decision-grade brief that shapes every downstream choice from positioning to channel selection to creative direction.

Right fit

This is for you if…

If one or more of these sounds familiar, it is worth a conversation.

01

You’re marketing to “everyone” and converting no one

02

You’ve never systematically talked to your best customers about why they bought

03

You’re about to enter a new market or segment and need evidence before you spend

How this fits

Where this sits in the growth system.

ICP & Market Research can be scoped as a standalone project or delivered inside one of Solando’s three engagement formats. Most engagements use it as a component of the Build or as ongoing work inside the System.
