Strategic Sweet Spot refers to a positioning place, where your company's capabilities match customer needs in a way that your competition can't. Finding that compelling and profitable spot requires multi-layered skills to make sense of a very comprehensive, creative research.
And this is where I come into the picture:

Great strategist with a global mindset and yet ability to discover local insights and culture phenomenons. Had a great partnership with Nilay for some of our Baltic projects that included market research, SWOT analisys, brand positioning and strategic directions. As we won one of the largest Baltic pitches together I guess she can be a really valuable addition to ambitious communications agency or marketing team.
