There's plenty of business books out there, and the Very Crank Bear has to be my favourite.
A wonderful reminder in the practice of listening to your customer and addressing their pain.

Differentiation isn't loud. It's clear.

2001:
Every MP3 player on the market was yelling specs. Gigabytes. Battery life. Compression rates.

Apple said "1,000 songs in your pocket."

Same product category. Completely different conversation.

For the first few years of running KEO I would not have written that line.
I was too busy selling the thing itself. The logo. The website. The campaign. The output.

If I was focused too much on how everyone else did it, or the way it would be presented to me in a textbook, I'd forget the customer's language. And their pain.

Nobody buys an output. They buy the outcome it gets them.

The pattern I see in clients before they come to us:
→ Posting because a competitor just posted
→ Copying the loudest brand in the category
→ Expecting two weeks of activity to do five years of positioning work

That's not marketing. That's reacting.

The iPod didn't win overnight. It won because someone did the work nobody else wanted to do first — looked at the customer, looked at the market, and found the one sentence nobody else could say.

That's differentiation. Not louder, clearer.

Wanna play?
Drop an output in the comments — literally anything. "A website." "An email." "20,000 robust k***s."

I'll give you back the outcome it delivers.

There's a balance between dreaming and doing.

It doesn't always work out.

Too much of either and nothing real gets shipped.

The strength is in the balance. Strategy that gets executed.

Ex*****on with strategy behind it.

The hardest brand work isn't fixing what's broken.

It's giving language to something that's been working brilliantly without it.

Brass Tacks had been doing strategic advisory at the highest level for years. The identity was beautiful. The work was real.

The struggle with was articulating who Brass Tacks actually was.
Some days a business. Some days an individual.

Always shifting.

So we got curious and went back to the beginning of the name. Brass tacks were the nails pinned to the haberdashery counter, used to measure cloth so nobody got short-changed. They held the measure.

They protected both sides.

That's not just a name, that's a posture. And it fit exactly.
Same beautiful bones. New strategic spine.

AI will whip up a poster for your event in three minutes.
It will also make your poster look like every other poster scrolling past it.

What you're sacrificing is recall. Memory. Salience. The whole reason you made the poster in the first place. If your audience can't remember it sat in their feed an hour ago, the time you saved on design was never the win you thought it was.

I get it. AI is fast. AI is cheap. AI is right there. But the thing it's quietly taking from you is the one thing your marketing actually needs to do.

Worth knowing what's at stake before you trade it away.

Not all tools need to be digital.

Sometimes… it’s just a really well-made thing.

This week’s pick: an iris tool (yep, the circle-drawing kind).

Simple. Precise. Satisfying to use.

And honestly, it’s a good reminder:
Good design isn’t always complicated.
It’s about clarity. Craft. Attention to detail.

Whether it’s a tool… or your brand.

Most people think branding stops at the logo.

It doesn't.

The real work is cutting through the noise and finding the gaps — the moments where your brand could be working harder, building more trust, opening more doors. With strategy and creativity, every one of those gaps becomes an opportunity.

That's what our latest video is about.

Watch it, then tell us in the comments: what's one opportunity you think your brand is missing right now?

Every workplace has one…

“The social media guy” 😂

You know the moment:
Camera comes out… everyone suddenly disappears.

But honestly?
The best content usually comes from the people trying not to be in it.

Real beats polished every time.

That’s what people connect with.
