Brandwatch Partnership — Full Context & Brief

The Pitch

CE fills the gap in Brandwatch's platform between **data/intelligence** (left side) and **publishing/measurement** (right side). The missing middle: turning social listening data into strategy, creative, and multi-market campaign assets. No competitor offers this.

**Audience:** Brandwatch leadership (NOT end-users). Every benefit must circle back to what BW gets: churn reduction, ARPU uplift, platform stickiness, renewals.

**Key framing:**

• CE is a **product/tool**, not an agency service. Assaf builds the engine, clients own the output.
• **Internal teams > agencies** — most BW clients don't have agency budgets. CE makes their internal teams faster.
• "Every hour in CE is an hour in Brandwatch" — generic AI tools pull clients away, CE keeps them inside.

Lukas's Role

Lukas Richthammer — former Brandwatch enterprise sales, DACH expertise. Insider credibility. His pending tasks:
**Kitt** (2026-03-13 19:37)
1. Lock down his formal role with Assaf (advisor? joining? compensation?)
2. Brandwatch org intel — who makes partnership decisions now
3. Cision's strategic priorities — what's their AI story internally
4. Warm intro strategy — who specifically to reach out to
5. Exclusivity position — discuss with Assaf
6. Identify a pilot client from his contacts

Landing Page — Current State

Restyled to match CE Grid page design language (March 10):
**Kitt** (2026-03-13 19:38)
• Hero: centered, `clamp(42px, 6vw, 84px)` Larken, no CTAs
• Sticky phase nav: The Gap, Operators, Deliverables, Engine, Work, Business Case, FAQ, Contact
• Opportunity section with BW image, light box-shadow approved
• Copy revised: killed jargon, "days not months" framing, internal teams angle, every section ties to BW business outcome
• Added: "How We Complete Each Other" section, "What You Get" deliverables, "Do I need BW?" and "Why partner?" FAQs
• Red "→ For Brandwatch..." outcome lines on every deliverable

## Pending / Not Yet Done

### 🔴 Critical (before any BW conversation)
1. **Pipeline gap-fill interaction** — Jessica spec ready, Thibault needs to implement (awaiting Assaf greenlight)
2. **Proof of concept** — Dove POC exists but needs to be more compelling. #1 blocker per audit.
3. **Lukas role locked down** — must happen before any call
4. **Financial model** — "$50-150K ARPU uplift" has no model behind it

### 🟡 High (before full pitch)
5. **Competitive landscape** — what are Sprout, Meltwater, Jasper actually doing with AI creative?
6. **One-page leave-behind PDF**
7. **Pilot proposal document** — 1 client, 1 market, 30 days, kill switch
8. **Brand safety / risk answers**
9. **Deck work** — ON HOLD per Assaf until landing page is finished

### Key Design Decisions Made
- Hero centered (not split) — Assaf rejected left-text/right-image
**Kitt** (2026-03-13 19:38)
- Box-shadow exception: opportunity image only
- No GSAP for pipeline interaction — use IntersectionObserver
- Grid page uses 1400px max vs styleguide 1100px — discrepancy noted, not resolved
- Inertia Studios (weareinertia.com) shared as interaction reference

### iPad Mockup Brief (from March 11, not yet executed)
Assaf gave a detailed brief for strategy dashboard iPad mockup for the work samples section — stat cards (+34%, 2.4x, -18%), strategic direction text, CE logotype, composited into Mockup Maison iPad template. Awaiting greenlight to execute.
