Are you looking for a Third Growth Option ℠ ?
Interested in organizing principles to “focus the blur” of branding, marketing and strategy? This conversation with Ben Greenberg and Sebastien Hue – thinkers and doers, food truck laborer and foodies, co-founders of the BS LLC agency – offers insight on growth.
They love deeper questions, hate becoming commoditized, love being the liaison between left and right brain, and strive to architect a way to do that.
On the Jobs Theory:
3:32: “it’s a business lens in which you can simplify questions and problems…to understand why people make decisions and do what they do”
4:00: “People don’t buy products and services… they hire them to do a job”
6:12: “we try to reduce down (the client’s) essential product or service into the simplest phrases of what those jobs do for the community at large, and how they bring utility”
6:28: “from there it goes to…the experience quotient…to integration…”
6:54: “…we can get to a purpose brand…like Kleenex…integrated…so now you ask for a Kleenex and not a tissue”
11:02: “thru qualitative interviews we’re better able to understand why they’re making a decision to fix or change something…you have to go through this exercise over and over again to start revealing the deeper job.”
11:20: “Jobs is a much more work-a-day term than brand, which is amorphous and abstract.”
25:40 “is there a danger of becoming unfocused? The Jobs Theory has focused you on becoming indispensable, doubling down on being client-centric and doing what needs to be done…”
18:40: “…how did your late 2019 decision to open up to new problems your clients have, how did that change your business…since COVID crisis started?”
Always growing.
