The six moves

Every brief is one of six shapes.

Growth gets simpler when you stop optimizing channels and start picking moves. These are the six we work in. One shows up every month.

01

Audience unlock

The segment you've been treating as a footnote is the one with the highest LTV. We surface it through behavioral and intent data, then build the language and angle to address it directly.

ICP refinement Behavioral segments Voice-of-customer
In practice

A print company selling to retail businesses unlocked a new line of demand by addressing local merchants, event organizers, and small Etsy printing shops, three audiences their category had quietly ignored.

02

Distribution play

Untapped channels your competitors haven't touched. Not hidden, just requiring pattern recognition across communities, niches, and emerging surfaces.

Niche communities Creator partners Emerging platforms
In practice

For a productivity tool, the unlock was small YouTubers as the focus segment. We reached them inside Reddit and Slack communities, building awareness one credible conversation at a time.

03

Campaign concept

A campaign idea that ties a behavioral insight to a cultural moment. A concept your audience wants to participate in, share, and bring people into.

Behavioral insight Cultural moment Earned media potential
In practice

For a secondhand and thrifting marketplace, the concept targeted parents. Kids grow up fast, which turns the same parent into both buyer and seller on the platform inside a single year.

04

Positioning brief

For a product launch, a category shift, or a moment when how you describe yourselves stops resonating. We write the brief. Your team and agency run with it.

Launch narrative Category language Message hierarchy
In practice

A healthcare company's new product launch needed positioning that worked across clinical and consumer surfaces at once. The brief defined three message tiers and the channels each one earned its airtime on.

05

Presence strategy

Conferences, events, and podcasts. The rooms where your customers already congregate. The work is meeting them where they are, with a reason to remember the conversation.

Conference selection Side-bar programming Pre/post sequencing
In practice

A healthtech company's customers were medical practices. We met them at the conferences they were already attending, setting up booths where the most relevant rooms in the industry passed through.

06

Cultural moments

A named cultural surface, a reason to be there, a specific shape. We hand you the moment, the angle that earns participation, and the structure of the first pilot.

Cultural surfaces Community involvement Pilot structure
In practice

A small beverage company built popularity by participating in a local run club, week after week. The product became part of a ritual the community already cared about.

The intelligence layer

An AI engine behind every brief.

An internal system that absorbs your category context and surfaces the patterns that make each brief sharper.

01
Node 1

Context

Your site, funnel, and category landscape are ingested into a working model of what you do, who you do it for, and where you sit in the market.

ReadsSite & category
02
Node 2

Research

Market, competitor, and customer signals are pulled, cross-referenced, and ranked. The signal that matters surfaces. The noise drops away.

ReadsMarket & customer signals

Node 3

Synthesis

We pull the surfaced research into a working set of hypotheses. Audience angles, channel candidates, and campaign concepts get scored against your motion, then queued for the next brief.

OutputsRanked hypotheses
04
Node 4

Brief

The monthly deliverable. A specific audience, hypothesis, message, channel, and success criteria, written in a voice your team can hand directly to execution.

OutputsGrowth brief
The deliverable

What a brief actually looks like.

Every monthly brief follows the same anatomy. The audience, the hypothesis, the channel, the message, the measurement. Light enough to read in ten minutes. Specific enough to execute against without a follow-up call.

Slack-native AE communities you haven't touched.

There are six private Slack and Discord communities where your ICP self-organizes around tooling stacks. Three are moderator-led, two have existing partner programs, one runs a quarterly spotlight. None show up in your current channel mix.

AEs and revenue ops leaders trust peer-curated tool recommendations over vendor content. Showing up inside these communities, as a real named contributor, produces higher-intent meetings than equivalent paid spend on LinkedIn.
