The human mind is a closed door. But we know how to get in.
Consumers tune out almost everything. Breaking through does not require shouting louder. It takes strategy.
How we cut through.
After decades in-market, we’ve learned that unforgettable brands follow three rules: position, contrast, and consistency. They’re not just theories — they’re how we cut through and stay through. Meet the three rules below.
First open the door.
Don’t shout at closed doors. Position yourself in the mind by being first, or by attaching to what’s already there. The first becomes the reference point — that’s why Coke is the original. Others must tie themselves to the brain's conceptual anchors — like Pepsi, the anti-Coke, or 7-Up, the Uncola.
Be the dark horse.
The herd feels safe. Yet, in the market, group mentality doesn't work. It's differentiate or die. You must own a word, or concept, that nobody else owns. Be the brand they never saw coming. But never forget.
Align all elements.
Once your position is clear, your main challenge is to be consistent. Ruthlessly so. Every message, every design, every decision must echo the same idea — a bright signal amid the noise. As Steve Jobs said, 'excellence is all about consistency'.
