Understanding and predicting consumer behavior is like trying to solve a constantly evolving puzzle—it’s not impossible, but patterns appear and disappear very quickly. Staying ahead of the curve is a hands-on process of experimenting and trial and error.
Enter Project LAB, an internal Leadline Marketing team dedicated to experimenting with emerging trends, untapped audiences and “riskier” strategies. We create social media accounts to try content strategies and targeting parameters we may recommend to clients, depending on their performance.
Since our LAB accounts are not branded, negative results won’t affect a client’s digital footprint; positive results can be fine-tuned and deployed in actual client accounts.
Project LAB Mission
Relying solely on established practices is similar to treading water in a stormy sea. Businesses cannot be innovative if they treat “best practices” like static, unchanging laws—staying relevant requires creativity and some flexibility.
Our mission at Project LAB is simple: to explore uncharted territories, test new theories, and pioneer strategies that redefine client success and marketing outcomes. We try to leverage the psychology of consumer behavior and leave no stone unturned in our quest for actionable insights.
But why are marketing experiments so crucial? The answer lies in adaptation. In an era where consumer preferences shift with the wind, businesses must be nimble enough to pivot and adjust their strategies accordingly. By conducting experiments, we gain a crucial understanding of what works—and what doesn’t—allowing us to refine our approach and stay one step ahead of the curve.
Moreover, experimentation breeds creativity. By stepping outside the confines of conventional wisdom, we open ourselves up to a world of endless possibilities. True innovation flourishes in the realm of the unknown, giving rise to ideas and potential client outcomes we may otherwise have missed.
Experimental LAB accounts are also an excellent way to assess a client’s competitors. Following our client’s competitors on social media via a LAB account can yield invaluable insights and ideas for both content creation and audience targeting. It’s also good creative insight—knowing what competitors are doing, we can avoid looking derivative and set our clients apart within their market.
So, to all the trailblazers and innovators out there, we invite you to join us on this exhilarating journey. Together, let’s push the boundaries of what’s possible and usher in a new era of marketing excellence. Welcome to Project LAB, where the future of marketing begins today.
