The standard

What every case study here will contain

So you know what you're reading, and what I've committed to not doing.

Always

  • The client named, with their permission
  • Numbers I can point to in an account, not estimates
  • What I'd do differently, including the parts that went badly
  • The context — budget size, category, how long it ran

Never

  • An anonymous "a leading brand in the sector" case study
  • A percentage improvement with no baseline behind it
  • A best-ever week presented as if it were the average
  • Credit for a result that was mostly somebody else's work
