The brief
Taren Point Bowling Club had experienced volatility during the pandemic and had not pivoted their business strategy during this time. Emerging from the pandemic restrictions and operating environment the brand and business needed to address brand and business development, and at the same time overhaul and include strategy and processes while maintaining business as usual.
COG Strategy inherited a legacy of very little brand intelligence and some analogue and basic brand management systems and processes. COG Strategy’s focus was to understand the business case, and what sort of growth would be expected and the internal resources of the business before we looked to implement any new systems, technologies or strategies.
COG Strategy’s job was to ensure Taren Point Bowling Club were set up for as little disruption to their BAU as possible, a key part of the brief would be to support the General Manager in their objectives and vision to allow the business to begin performing post-Pandemic.
Taren Point Bowling Club is a typical Clubs NSW industry business which follows standard rules and regulations, thus COG Strategy strategies needed to conform to this environment.
