The 8 Rules of Brand Cartography
- Flexing Restraint - The best moments leave you wanting more, not scrolling from boredom.
- Respect the Medium - Every medium has its own language. We adapt our approach to speak that language.
- Differentiate and Commit - Fitting in is a recipe for irrelevance. We look for unique twists we can incorporate across multiple touch points.
- Population - We fill the world with a diverse cast of characters.
- Association - Nothing is original, and we embrace it. Inspirations are positioning.
- Design Everything - We find the details ignored by the industry, and make them unmistakably ours.
- Absurdity Wins - We create unexpected moments that subvert expectations.
- Immersion - Audience immersion is the goal. We believe content is the most powerful tool to do so consistently at scale.
