We're excited to share Mike Bruno's interview with the Integrate & Ignite Marketing Podcast hosted by Lori Jones. They dive deep into the power of category design in marketing and how it can help your business stand out and succeed. Discovering the power of creating a new category for your product is not just about being descriptive, but about conveying meaning and solving a human problem.
“The right problem should make you wake up in the middle of the night because that is what moves you from the commodity space into a line item in a budget. You have a legitimate problem with real costs and you have no way of solving it until now - this category is going to do it.” Mike Bruno
