Pattern recognition shortens the work. We have run the same argument enough times in each of these to know where the category's assumptions are hiding, and which of them will not survive being questioned in front of a customer.





The most crowded shelf in the world. What we know here: the pack is the argument, the origin story is only worth telling if it changes the choice, and a naming architecture built early is what makes line extension cheap later. 4Sisters · Neighbors · Martin Foods · Avelina · Tamarí.





Categories organised around a customer's discomfort, usually mistaking that for a service. The brand that stops apologising first takes a position nobody else can follow into without contradicting themselves. Made for Living · Bright Autism · Better Not Younger · Belcare.





Where taste is the product and volume of message destroys it. Heritage has to be shown rather than claimed, and a brand whose job is to hold other brands has to be quiet enough that none of them feel diminished. Saville · Brigati · Niluu · Nonchalant.






Businesses whose output is a commodity and whose real differentiator is the people. Make the claim belong to the workforce before you take it to a client. Moss · EFC.



Companies fluent in their own capability and illegible to everyone else. The site has to say what changes before it says anything technical. ChaiOne · InfraMappa · Get Licensed.





Institutions whose credibility is the asset and whose communications usually undersell it. Twenty years of programme history is a story most foundations never tell properly. CIFO · PACT Capital.




Consumer platforms competing on habit rather than feature. It has to land on the street first. Lyft.




Our own lab. We run brands with our own money, and what we learn there goes straight back into client work. Nonchalant · Brigati · Parentezi.
