the category
(and company)
As well as reflecting on your close-in competitors,
it can be massively helpful to look at what is out

categories, and bring in outside partners to help
release the shackles that invariably build-up over

in their own space, constrained by their own
internal capabilities

these shackles - when we think more creatively,
and look to design-in both appeal and brand fit

seek reward over And there’s nothing wrong with copying if
someone else has a good idea or execution!
