What we do
We start with the end in mind.Then we reverse engineer.
If you look at any person or business who has had abnormal success given the same circumstances, you will normally find that they thought differently than anyone else doing what they did, which explains why they got a different result.
You have two core ways to think - by analogy, and by the first principles method. Thinking by analogy means copying what already seems to work, and it ends with you getting what everyone else has. Thinking from first principles means starting from fundamental truths rather than from what other people are doing.
Answering the old question of which half of the advertising budget is wasted is why we were founded. Our clients never have to ask it, because we can tell them exactly what is working and what is not - and that is why we get results other marketing companies do not, even on the same budget.
Marketing, in its simplest form, is getting in front of the right person at the right time to convert them. Internally, we like to say we day trade attention and use the best tools and methods to constantly arbitrage to get the most conversion at the least cost.
