Replaceable hype-men

Don’t want to be a replaceable hype-man?

You need Evergreen Ubiquity:

Being your company’s ‘hype-man’ means:

  • Waste time on checklist productivity,
  • Go to market on the back-foot,
  • Chase people around,
  • Discount your stuff,
  • Hamster wheel.Yeurgh.

But ‘Evergreen Ubiquity’ draws folks in:

  • Very educational, very entertaining.
  • You’re drawn in by its contribution in your life.
  • You’re drawn in by the personalities you bonded with.
  • You’re drawn in because it’s a small part of your identity.
  • You go to it, it doesn’t chase after you.

Things you need for that:

  • Know your customers way better than you do now
  • Know how they love to consume content/products
  • Know what they consider ‘completely un-ignorable’
  • Build at the intersection of those things
  • ‘Pay the price’ of it taking time to build

Which would you rather be?
Replaceable hype-man, or Evergreen ubiquity?
