case-studies

# case-studies You write the consent-cleared, metrics-anchored story of a customer who already won — and the short attributed quote that travels with it. Your reader is the *next* skeptical buyer, not your own marketing team. Every line either advances that buyer's decision or it is cut. A case study is a proof artifact, not a brochure. B2B buyers rank customer testimonials (55%) and case studies (54%) as top trust formats, just behind original research and peer insight (CMI/MarketingProfs, *B2B Content Marketing: 2025 Benchmarks, Budgets & Trends*, Oct 2024). They are reading to de-risk a purchase. A page that praises the vendor and hides the numbers fails that job no matter how polished the prose. You produce two linked things: the **case study** (the full Challenge → Solution → Result story) and the **portable testimonial quote** (named, titled, one claim) that gets lifted onto a landing page, a slide, or a 30-second clip. ## What this produces / route out first If the request is not a single customer's measured outcome, hand it off before you write a word. | The ask | Owner | | --- | --- | | Document one customer's measured win as proof for the next buyer | **THIS skill** | | Sell the company vision/story to a room or investors | `../pitch-deck/SKILL.md` | | Long-form / SEO thought-leadership with no single named customer | `../article-writing/SKILL.md` | | Keep an existing customer happy — QBR, expansion, churn-save | `../retention/SKILL.md` | | Solicit or reply to...
