The Edge

Your break from sameness. Sharpened.

Part 1 — Find Your Edge

Three questions. One rough edge.

Before sharpening, you need something to sharpen. Answer these to locate where your brand breaks from the category.

1. What does everyone in your category tend to say?

2. What do you believe, see, or understand differently?

3. What tension does your audience feel that your category rarely names well?

Part 1 — Find Your Edge
