Every project starts by getting literal

To build a strong position in the mind you need a strong understanding of the mind. My brand framework is distilled from years of writing and practice and two published books.

Pillar 01

Relevance

→ Why care at all?

What's the fundamental innovation you're putting on buyers' (or investors') radar?

Is it a new...

  • +Technology — new foundational tech?
  • +Tool — a new product or platform?
  • +Transformation — a new way of working?

Pillar 02

Preference

→ Why choose you?

Who is this exactly for, and what does it do for them specifically?

  • +Who — your ICP
  • +What — the job to be done
  • +When/where — trigger moments
  • +Why — their success
  • +How — your unique mechanism

Pillar 03

Recall

→ Why remember you?

What's the final name/need association that will define your brand?

Let's make it memetic through:

  • +Strategic narrative — a new world
  • +Category creation — a new concept
  • +Niche positioning — a new X for Y

Brand & web design driven by strategy

With a strategy in place, differentiating through design becomes much easier.
You're neither mindlessly chasing trends or playing it safe.
You're building your brand.
