The path to meaningful brand differentiation.
We believe every brand has a hidden good, even if it’s sometimes hiding in plain sight.
And conversely, every category has a common enemy holding brands back. Our strategists go beyond traditional insights to identify cultural tensions and category conventions that limit growth. We identify what your brand's unique good can stand against—the enemy that must be extinguished—to fuel your new growth.
