ADVICE

Apply The PINATA Framework

  • Use the PINATA framework (Proposition, Insight, Needs, Associations, Test, Assets) to define a brand.
  • Work each element to make communications relevant, provable, and distinctive.
INSIGHT

Segment By Usage Contexts, Not Just Demographics

  • Usage contexts (category entry points) beat narrow demographic segments for brand relevance.
  • Target the situations where people make choices, not only segmented groups.
ADVICE

  • Build a profit‑focused brand strategy rather than prioritizing growth at any cost.
  • Start sustainably by making profit from a small base before scaling globally.
