Doing Case Studies the Wrong Way…and Loving It

One of Bredemarket’s services is case study writing—I wrote a dozen case studies for one client alone.

But what is a case study? Here’s how HubSpot defines the purpose of a case study:

“In marketing, case studies are used as social proof — to provide buyers with the context to determine whether they’re making a good choice.”

In short, case studies are wonderful buyer-facing content.

Normally.

One of my clients needed four case studies…that would NEVER be seen by a potential or actual buyer. They would ONLY be seen by internal staff.

Did I say “you’re doing it wrong”?

Definitely not.

After all, if case studies motivate external audiences, why not use them to motivate internal audiences?
