Louws Consulting and Implementation Services

At Louws we have a Basic Blue Print we follow for many of our services.

Our first step in our Blue Print is the Discovery Phase, in which we review processes, conduct audits and refine.

Our second step is the “Installation” phase. This answers the question “Now what?” We believe in bringing “concept to action”. This phase is the installation of the outcomes of the Discovery Phase. This includes; training and coaching the employees and training and coaching the clients.

» Service Offering ... Executive Business Direction Consultation

» This Louws service offering has been instituted many times over the past 2 decades, and one which was used in Louw's work with Quiznos. In Quiznos' case Louws even addressed the area of Brand Architecture, resulting in a physical “Brand Book” which franchisees, management and the communications partners use as their directional business communications and corporate philosophical playbook.

Essentially, the outcome of this service offering is an Executive Team who both agrees to and knows their corporate direction and assumes responsibility for the elements this comprises. Learn More.

» Service Offering ... How to Evaluate the Creative Work of the Agency

»For decades agencies have said that marketers only get the kind of creative they deserve. Louws does not agree with this philosophy. Instead through observation, we have seen that marketers get the kind of creative work they are capable of allowing. The better a marketer can evaluate true creativity and its relevance and application to their marketing communications, the better the communications become and so, in turn the better the results.

Knowing that Louws had worked with a vast majority of major advertising, promotions, direct marketing and internet-based marketing companies in the world, (between 1985 and 2005, over 450) and conducted a training program for them called “How to Effectively Present Creative Ideas to your Clients”, it was believed that Louws might serve a dual function.

At the behest of its marketing clients, this training program was introduced by Louws in 1990.
