How to Gain Influence

The VUKA ‘Influence 365’ model is designed to build trust
and awareness with key stakeholders all year round.

The Influence CycleInfluence thinking over extended periods

The power of influencing thinking, building awareness & cultivating trust takes time. While traditional networking and advertising is short term, businesses by nature make decisions across prolonged periods of 6-18 months or more.

In reality, success comes from retaining the market (or your prospects') attention with consistent brand visibility that builds awareness, trust and confidence. It opens doors, and gives you a seat at the table with industry heavyweights.

VUKA opens the door to true 365 marketing, producing evergreen awareness of your company. Imagine staying in contact with your prospects 365 days a year, across multiple media channels to influence the way customers think about your brand. VUKA clients achieve much more with their investments.

  • Create evergreen brand visibility 365 days per year
  • Targeted marketing before, during & after events
  • Leverage trusted industry media to present your brand

“Building relationships throughout and cross-industry is critical to Africa’s future”

By leveraging our tailored 12-month advertising strategy, your brand will be top of mind for your target clients, making it much easier to stand out at these events and gain their attention.

Action Steps:

  • Select key exhibitions your ideal clients attend, maybe even cross industry
  • Develop a plan for your brand's participation, including exhibiting, sponsoring, or speaking opportunities that showcase your expertise and commitment
  • Design impactful event materials that resonate with your target audience and foster valuable connection

Our tailored networking meetings introduce you to your ideal clients directly. Thanks to a year of pre-warming they are already open and excited to meet you. This familiarity and trust create an ideal environment for you to showcase your services and establish valuable connections that can lead to new business opportunities.
