Become A Category King

Each year, Category Pirates (the three of us) will work directly with 1-2 companies to design & dominate new categories of consequence.

These pirate ships range from heavily funded technology startups with an IPO in sight (and want to add an extra billion dollars to their market cap), to publicly traded companies that need help escaping “The Better Trap” and separating themselves from any and all competition.

The 18-24 Month Epic Category Battle

At some point in your company’s life, you will face an epic battle that will decide who will go on to dominate the category.

Our superpower is making sure you win that battle—and solidify yourself as Category King.

Create Demand

Most people believe that demand for products, services, and information is like the weather.
“It’s out of our control.” But this couldn’t be further from the truth. Category Designers create demand—seemingly out of thin air. And there are clear strategies for doing so.

Control The Narrative

How do you want your industry to talk about you? How do you want to be introduced?
What do you want the headlines to read? When you create a new category, and pair it with new languaging, you set the media’s agenda.

Lightning Strike Marketing

Companies waste millions of advertising dollars trying to be everywhere, all the time. We call this “Peanut Butter marketing,” and it’s a giant waste of money. Instead, you want your Superconsumers to pay attention to your 2-4x per year. How? By executing a Lightning Strike strategy.
