I was taught to always focus the design on the end-user, which is the client's customer, because it's easier to pitch an idea when it's about the customer.

However, this one client wants me to design a logo and their brand material for their personal satisfaction, not their customer's. And they told me that a lot of their customers never notice or seem to care about their visual identity because of the industry they are in and that they are also still learning about their customers.

So my question is how should I pitch my design idea to the client when the customer isn't the end-user of the design?

Your client is your client.

Normally the end user is not at our grasp. You can design a label for a jelly to be sold on a supermarket, but first it needs to be approved by the jelly company.

Take a look at this: Whose persona should I consider while designing my portfolio?

Make it clear that the design is not really optimized for the real purpose and as a consultant you do not really recommend the result. And you will be ready when they need the redesign.

One side note, if the recommended design ideas are really awesome, it is more likely to be approved.
