What you read

What marketing needs to know today.

Up to three items a morning: who each is for, why now, what changed, what it means, where you stand and what to do.

A short list, written for your buyers

Up to three items a morning, never a feed. Each names who it is for and why now.

Fact. Meaning. Position. What this opens.

Open an item and it reads the same way every time, with the receipts folded under the parts.

Act, or wait. Both are answers.

Draft it and send it to your website, brief it, explore it, take a position, or rank it and move on.

Your own terms

A rival's move is input, never the subject.

⚑ REFRAME

Make your frame the yardstick

Their move puts a belief in the buyer’s head. Your piece makes your frame the measure.

⚑ DIFFERENTIATE

Widen the gap

They emphasise one thing; your buyers also need another, and that one is yours.

⚑ LEAD

Set the agenda

A territory the category has no words for yet. Rare, and the one that compounds.

⚑ CAPTURE

Meet the moment

A live buyer question or a demand spike. Answer the question while it is live.

⚑ EDUCATE

Teach the buyer

The market misunderstands something you can credibly explain. The change is the evidence.
