Join me as we take a walk down memory lane, revisiting the first time Bill graced my podcast with his presence and the indelible mark he’s left on my life.

A Meeting of Minds in San Diego

It was August 24th, 2017—a day etched in my memory, thanks to the friends who captured the moment and shared a photo of our first encounter. Meeting Bill Walton was like stepping into a storybook where the characters leap off the page. Here was one of the greatest NBA players of all time, a man whose stature was matched only by his extraordinary personality, ready to become a part of my world.

Our initial meeting took place at an executive event in sunny San Diego, where we were both slated to speak. I remember watching Bill, completely unscripted, captivating the audience with his life’s slideshow in the background. His ability to weave tales and engage listeners with nothing but his memories and a carousel of personal photos was nothing short of mesmerizing.

Meeting Bill Walton

The Teacher in My Life

Bill’s journey is one of resilience. From battling a stutter to enduring chronic injuries, his path was never easy. Yet, he emerged stronger, channeling his love for music and life into everything he did. His passion was infectious, and his dedication to being unapologetically unique was something that deeply resonated with me.

Bill played a crucial role in my transition to becoming a teacher. His influence was a guiding light, helping me navigate through new territories with confidence. His life lessons extended beyond the court, and I was fortunate to be one of the many who benefited from his wisdom.

Remembering Bill Walton

Radical Generosity and Unwavering Support

One of the most touching aspects of my friendship with Bill was experiencing his radical generosity firsthand. I’ll never forget the care package of memorabilia he sent my way—a testament to his thoughtful nature and the value he placed on our bond.

In the aftermath of a personal tragedy, it was Bill’s kindness that shone through the darkness. His heartfelt messages provided comfort and support when I needed it most, further solidifying the profound impact of our friendship.

As I reflect on the time spent with Bill Walton, I’m filled with immense gratitude. His legacy extends far beyond his basketball accolades; it’s etched in the hearts of those he’s touched with his generosity, spirit, and unwavering friendship.

Have a Legendary 2025 6:59

Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing 2025 ! In this New Year’s episode, we reflect on the past year and look forward to 2025, with a focus on significant career trends and the impact of AI on the workforce. With 60% of Americans considering job changes, the episode highlights the diminishing value of traditional knowledge work and the rise of “creative capitalists” who leverage AI for innovation. Our 2025 focus includes helping individuals identify their unique strengths, connect them to meaningful contributions, and achieve personal and financial fulfillment. Join us in embracing these transformative opportunities for a legendary year ahead. Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing . The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. Trends in Job Changes Recent surveys reveal a striking trend: approximately 60% of Americans are contemplating job or career changes in 2025. This statistic, reported by Gallup and corroborated by a résumé templates survey, indicates a widespread desire for new opportunities. Specifically, 56% of individuals are looking to pursue new jobs, with 27% actively searching. This data suggests that more than half of the workforce is seeking meaningful transitions in their careers. The New Reality of AI As we navigate this new landscape, we must acknowledge the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI). We are no longer in a future where AI is a distant concept; it is now a present reality. The workforce will be divided into two categories: those who thrive in this new environment and those who struggle to adapt. For the past 70 years, the highest value work has been classified as “knowledge work,” a term coined by the renowned Peter Drucker. Knowledge workers acquire valuable information and apply it to produce results. However, in an AI-driven world, the value of existing knowledge is diminishing daily. Tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini can provide insights and strategies that were once the exclusive domain of high-end knowledge workers. The Rise of Creative Capitalists In this evolving landscape, the new high-value role is that of the “creative capitalist.” These individuals are not just knowledge workers; they are innovators who generate new knowledge and ideas, leveraging AI to enhance their creativity and productivity. Those who can harness AI to create unique solutions and insights will find themselves at the forefront of success in 2025 and beyond. Conversely, those who cling to traditional knowledge work without adapting to the changes brought about by AI may face significant challenges. The tech industry has already seen substantial layoffs, with around 200,000 job losses reported in 2024. This serves as a stark reminder of the need to evolve and embrace new ways of working. To hear more about the new trends and what you need to adapt in this new year 2025, download and listen to this episode. We hope you enjoyed this episode of Lochhead on Marketing™ !

208 Clarity in Your Category POV with Katrina Kirsch | Pirate Jam 48:34

25 weeks ago48:34

48:34

On this episode of Lochhead on Marketing , we dive deep with fellow Category Pirate Katrina Kirsch into the critical importance of clarity in marketing. We explore the common pitfalls that entrepreneurs and marketers face when trying to articulate their points of view (POVs) and the challenges of standing out in a crowded marketplace. This episode will break down the key insights from their discussion, and offer thorough explanations & actionable advice to help you refine your marketing strategies. Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing . The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. Katrina Kirsch on the Challenge of Clarity in Marketing Christopher opens the discussion by highlighting a prevalent issue: many marketing messages are convoluted and fail to convey the core message clearly. He points out that when potential customers visit a company’s website, they often leave feeling confused about what the business actually does. This confusion stems from the tendency of companies to overcomplicate their messaging, using jargon and clever phrasing that ultimately obscures their value proposition. Katrina agrees, sharing her experiences with creatives who often fall into the trap of trying to be overly clever in their marketing. She emphasizes that while creativity is essential, it should not come at the cost of clarity. The duo stresses that the most effective marketing is straightforward and easy to understand. They argue that clarity is not just a nice-to-have; it is a fundamental requirement for successful marketing. The Power of Simplicity The conversation shifts to the power of simplicity in messaging. Christopher cites Walmart’s tagline, “Save money. Live better,” as an example of effective simplicity. This tagline is memorable and communicates the brand’s value proposition clearly. He contrasts this with the overly complex messaging often found in the tech industry, where companies may describe their products in multiple ways, leading to confusion rather than clarity. Katrina shares a story about a photography club leader who was preparing to launch a virtual camp. The leader’s email communications were filled with clever but confusing language, including hidden links and overly complex descriptions. After reviewing the emails together, Katrina advised him to prioritize clarity over cleverness. She emphasizes that when communicating with an audience, especially those unfamiliar with the subject matter, it is crucial to be as clear as possible. Katrina Kirsch on the Dangers of Overcomplication Christopher and Katrina discuss how the desire to sound smart can lead to overcomplicated messaging. They reference a smart startup CEO who, despite his intelligence, produced a press release that described the company’s product in six different ways. This lack of consistency made it difficult for readers to understand what the company actually did. Christopher points out that this is a common mistake among intelligent individuals who may feel the need to showcase their knowledge through complex language. Katrina adds that in certain fields, such as academia or science, complexity can be valued. However, in marketing, especially for solopreneurs and small businesses, clarity should take precedence. The speakers agree that the goal should be to communicate the problem being solved and the solution offered in the simplest terms possible.

Bio Katrina Kirsch is a skilled content strategist and writer specializing in creating impactful marketing strategies and engaging content. With a background in journalism and digital marketing, Katrina has a talent for crafting clear, compelling messages that resonate with diverse audiences. She excels in SEO, social media management, and brand storytelling, helping businesses build strong online presences.

207 Write Your Way to Market Leadership: Fernando Labastida on How Writing a Book Shapes New Markets 1:05:08

28 weeks ago1:05:08

1:05:08

On this episode of Lochhead on Marketing , we engage in a thought-provoking conversation with Fernando Labastida , an innovative thinker in category design and a proponent of businesses creating their own unique markets. The discussion centers on the transformative role of writing a book as a strategy for businesses to carve out their unique markets and establish themselves as category leaders. Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing . The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. Fernando Labastida on the Value of Writing a Book Fernando Labastida begins by discussing the advantages of writing a book, asserting that it can serve as a powerful means to organize and galvanize ideas. He notes that while it’s possible to design a category without writing a book, the process of writing can clarify thoughts and solidify concepts. Fernando likens writing a book to assembling a puzzle or using a paint-by-numbers coloring book, where a detailed outline helps structure the ideas. He also highlights how a book can kickstart marketing efforts, enabling authors to engage in “information wars” and “air wars” to evangelize their categories. A book can open doors to speaking engagements, podcast appearances, and networking opportunities, amplifying the author’s message across various platforms. The Impact of Being an Author Christopher shares a personal anecdote about the impact of being a published author. He recounts a recent experience in Fiji, where a stranger recognized him as one of the authors of “Play Bigger” and expressed how the book had changed his life and business. This moment underscores the profound effect that a book can have on readers, creating a lasting connection that is often more impactful than other forms of media, such as podcasts or blogs. Fernando posits that in an age where attention spans are dwindling, writing a book demonstrates a commitment to deep thinking and sustained effort, which can resonate with audiences. Creating New Language and Thought Leadership The conversation shifts to the importance of language in establishing thought leadership. Christopher points out that those who create new language often dominate their categories. He cites Starbucks as an example, where the company’s unique terminology has shaped customer expectations and industry standards. Similarly, he discusses how ChatGPT has redefined language around artificial intelligence, introducing terms like “large language model” and “prompt engineer,” which have become integral to the conversation about AI. Fernando echoes this sentiment, referencing the Eisenberg brothers, who coined terms like “conversion rate optimization” to describe emerging concepts in digital marketing. He emphasizes that new problems arising from technological advancements necessitate new solutions and, consequently, new language to describe them.

Bio Fernando Labastida is a seasoned marketing strategist known for his expertise in content marketing and business growth. He has helped tech companies and startups build brand authority through strategic storytelling, connecting businesses with their target audiences. Passionate about innovative growth, Fernando excels in crafting compelling narratives that drive engagement and customer loyalty, making him a trusted leader in tech marketing who skillfully blends strategy with creativity to achieve impactful results.

206 The One-Sentence Strategy | Pirate Jam 10:15

30 weeks ago10:15

10:15

On this episode of Lochhead on Marketing , Category Pirates Christopher Lochhead and Eddie Yoon talk about the power of simplifying business strategies into a One-Sentence Strategy. They discuss how successful companies, from large enterprises to solopreneurs, leverage concise strategies to drive focus and alignment. Highlighting examples like Gillette’s “revenue per user per year” and Microsoft’s “a computer on every desktop,” they emphasize the importance of clarity and customer-centric approaches. The episode underscores that while crafting a one-sentence strategy is challenging, it is essential for achieving cohesive company culture and long-term success. Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing . The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. The Power of Having One Clear Strategy Eddie Yoon emphasizes that the most successful businesses, regardless of their size, often operate under a singular, clear metric or strategy. This simplicity allows for better focus and alignment across the organization. He cites the example of Gillette, which used “revenue per user per year” (RUPI) and “profit per user per year” (PUPI) as their guiding metrics. This approach not only streamlined their decision-making but also ensured that all team members understood their primary objectives. Christopher & Eddie then give examples of several legendary companies that have thrived due to their clear, concise strategies. For instance, Microsoft’s one-sentence strategy was “a computer on every desktop,” which guided their product development and marketing efforts for decades. Similarly, YETI, known for its premium ice coolers, positioned itself with the straightforward strategy of offering a “premium ice cooler,” differentiating itself from traditional, lower-cost options. The Importance of Customer Focus They also point out how these companies maintain a customer-centric approach. For example, the Keurig coffee system was built around the idea of convenience and choice, with the metric of “K-cups per brewer per day” driving their business decisions. This focus on customer experience and satisfaction is crucial for long-term success. Christopher explains that while these strategies are simple to understand, executing them effectively is often challenging. He notes that when a company has a clear strategy, it becomes easier to align employees, investors, and customers towards a common goal. This alignment is essential for fostering a cohesive company culture and driving growth. The Challenge of Crafting a One-Sentence Strategy Creating a one-sentence strategy is not a straightforward task. It requires deep reflection and a thorough understanding of the business’s core mission and values. Christopher & Eddie discuss how many organizations settle for vague or overly complex strategies, which can lead to confusion and misalignment. They advocate for a rigorous process of distillation, where businesses must sift through their ideas and focus on what truly matters. One of the standout examples is the Ritz-Carlton’s guiding principle: “Ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen.” This simple yet profound statement encapsulates their commitment to exceptional service and sets a high standard for their employees. It illustrates how a well-crafted strategy can inspire and elevate a brand’s identity. To hear more From Christopher & Eddie about the One-Sentence Strategy, download and listen to this episode.

205 The Category Makes the Brand: Unpacking Brand Hierarchy in Category Design | Pirates Perspective 32:27

43 weeks ago32:27

32:27

On this episode of Lochhead on Marketing , Christopher Lochhead, a three-time CMO and a leading figure in category design, gives his Pirates Perspective into the critical concept that “the category makes the brand, not the other way around.” This principle underscores the importance of understanding and defining a category in marketing, as it can profoundly influence consumer perception and the overall success of a brand. Through engaging stories and practical examples, Christopher illustrates how effective category design can lead to market dominance. Additionally, Christopher highlights Microsoft’s strategic shift in the tech industry, emphasizing the importance of a unified category approach. Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing . The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. Understanding Category Design Category design is a strategic approach that involves creating and defining a new market category, thereby positioning a brand as the leader within that category. This concept is pivotal because it shifts the focus from competing within an existing market to creating a new space where the brand can dominate. Christopher emphasizes that successful brands are those that not only understand their category but also actively shape it. The Category Shapes the Brand Christopher’s central thesis is that the category makes the brand, not the other way around. This means that the success of a brand is largely determined by how well it defines and owns its category. By focusing on the problems they solve and the experiences they create, companies can differentiate themselves and achieve lasting success in their respective markets. Case Studies: Barcade and Qualtrics Christopher then shares compelling examples to illustrate the importance of category design. One notable example is Barcade, an innovative arcade bar that successfully carved out its niche by blending the nostalgia of classic arcade games with a vibrant bar atmosphere. By defining its category clearly, Barcade attracted a dedicated customer base and differentiated itself from traditional bars and arcades. Another significant case study is Qualtrics, a company that transformed its market position through a focus on experience management. Christopher contrasts Qualtrics with its competitors, such as Medallia and SurveyMonkey, to highlight the impact of effective category design. While Qualtrics successfully defined and owned its category, the other companies struggled to differentiate themselves, leading to varying degrees of success in the marketplace. Microsoft’s Journey Christopher recounts the story of Microsoft and its journey to dominate the office productivity software market. Initially, Microsoft faced fierce competition from established players like WordPerfect in word processing, Lotus in spreadsheets, and dBase in databases. Despite launching competitive products, Microsoft struggled to gain significant market share. The turning point came when Mike Maples Sr., a key figure at Microsoft, discovered an anomaly in sales data during a trip to Australia. He learned that bundling applications together and offering them at a discounted price led to a significant uptick in sales. This insight prompted Maples to rethink the problem: instead of viewing these applications as separate categories, he recognized that they collectively addressed a larger issue—productivity for office workers.

The conversation centers around Apple’s introduction of Apple Intelligence, a cutting-edge AI-driven personal intelligence system, and their strategic partnership with OpenAI. They break down the key insights from their discussion, offering actionable advice and thorough explanations for marketers and tech enthusiasts alike. Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing . The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. Apple Intelligence: A New Category in AI Apple’s announcement of Apple Intelligence marks a significant milestone in the tech industry. This AI-driven personal intelligence system is designed to enhance user experiences by integrating smarter, more intuitive tools into daily lives. Christopher Lochhead praises this move, emphasizing Apple’s role as a primary category designer, particularly in the realm of personal computers. Actionable Insights: Embrace Category Design: Companies should focus on creating new categories rather than just competing within existing ones. This approach can lead to market leadership and long-term success. Integrate AI Thoughtfully: Embedding AI in products should be done in an evolutionary manner, ensuring that it enhances user experiences without overwhelming them. Strategic Partnership with OpenAI Apple’s decision to partner with OpenAI rather than compete with them is a strategic move that highlights the importance of collaboration in the tech industry. Christopher Lochhead commends this approach, noting that it allows Apple to focus on serving their customers through thoughtful and aggressive innovation. Actionable Insights: Leverage Partnerships: Collaborating with other industry leaders can lead to innovative solutions and a better customer experience. Focus on Customer Needs: Innovation should always be driven by the goal of serving customers better, rather than just outpacing competitors. Privacy, Data Usage Concerns, and Regulations in AI Eddie Yoon expresses both excitement and concern about the potential benefits and privacy implications of Apple’s personal intelligence system. He highlights the need for careful consideration of data usage and consumer privacy. The conversation also delves into the need for oversight and regulations in the AI space. Christopher emphasizes the importance of strong controls while acknowledging Apple’s historical business practices and the need for critical examination.

202 2024 Is 1939 (Again) In America 31:46

51 weeks ago31:46

31:46

On this episode of Lochhead on Marketing , the conversation takes a deep dive into the complex and sensitive situation in Gaza, Palestine, Israel, and the broader Middle East, and how our perception here in America is being warped by misinformation from different sides. Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing . The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. A Feeling of Déjà Vu for America On the evening of Feb. 20, 1939, the marquee of Madison Square Garden was lit up for the big event: “Pro American Rally.” But it was the farthest thing from being American as can be. Uniformed members of pro-Hitler group The German American Bund carried American and nazi flags. That being said, In the last week of December 1942, fifty leading German-Americans (including baseball legend Babe Ruth) signed a declaration condemning nazis which appeared in ten major American daily newspapers. Ultimately, American patriots stopped the American nazis. Looking at the events this week at Columbia, MIT, NYU, and other elite US schools, they mirror much of the hate, horror and scale of The German American Bund. While some were there to genuinely support the civilians trapped in the ongoing conflict, there were others that openly supported Hamas’ extremist actions. It was very ironic to see banners about women and LGBT+ groups support, when they are the most oppressed in the world that these people envision. What’s even worse is that there were reasons to suspect that these protests were sponsored by people who don’t want to get their own hands dirty. (Mis)Information is Rampant One of the downsides of our technological boom is the ease of access to information. Unfortunately, ease of access does not always mean a smart populace. As information is shared from peer to peer, information gets distorted, if not outright manipulated to suit their agendas, that sometimes the victim comes out on the other end as the one being ganged on, instead of the oppressor. This particularly true with social media sites, who has become the de-facto source of information for the younger generation. There was even a brief period where young people were lauding a speech that Bin Laden made to justify 9/11. Never mind the atrocities he and his jihadist group committed in the US and international stage, he made a great speech! Totally justified.

201 Category Creation: How To Dam The Demand 11:42

52 weeks ago11:42

11:42

On this episode of Lochhead of Marketing , we review a powerful strategy that has the potential to revolutionize how you approach marketing and demand creation for your product or service. We call this strategy “damming the demand,” and it’s all about redirecting existing consumer desire to carve out a new category that you can dominate. If you’re not convinced, check out how these giants in the industry have utilized this strategy to their advantage by creating demand in an already existing market. Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing . The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. Dam the Demand Traditional marketing often focuses on capturing the demand that already exists. It’s about finding a place in the market and filling the needs of consumers who are already looking for solutions. But what if you could do more than just meet existing demand? What if you could create a whole new category of demand? That’s where the concept of “damming the demand” comes in. It’s a strategy that sits between traditional marketing and category design. Instead of just capturing demand or creating it from scratch, you harness the existing demand and redirect it, creating a new space for your product or service. Lessons from Tech Titans Let’s look at some legendary examples to understand this better. Marc Benioff , the founder of Salesforce.com, didn’t just create a cloud CRM; he dammed the demand for traditional on-premise CRM solutions. By evangelizing the benefits of cloud-based CRM, he forced a debate in the market, making businesses choose between the old on-premise solutions and the new, more flexible cloud options. This didn’t just shift the demand—it expanded it, as more and more businesses began to see the value in cloud-based applications beyond CRM. In the B2C world, Peloton took a similar approach. They saw the demand for spin classes and dammed it by offering an alternative: high-quality home fitness. By doing so, they didn’t just capture the existing market for spin classes; they expanded it to include people who wanted the convenience of working out at home. This created a new category of home fitness solutions that has grown exponentially. This isn’t a new phenomenon. History is rich with examples of demand damming. Consider Henry Ford, who redirected the demand from horse and buggies to the “horseless carriage,” or Marty Cooper , who shifted the demand from landline phones to the “wireless phone” category. These visionaries didn’t just create products; they created movements that changed the landscape of their respective industries. The Strategy in Action So, how can you apply this strategy to your business? First, identify the existing demand that you can dam. Look for areas where consumers are already spending their money but might be open to a new, better solution. Once you’ve dammed the demand, use it to drive revenue in the near term. Then, leverage this demand to expand and create a new category that you can lead. Damming the demand is a potent strategy for any company looking to not just compete but dominate a new market category. By redirecting existing demand, you can create a new demand for your category, driving growth and market expansion. It’s a bold move, but as we’ve seen from the likes of Salesforce and Peloton, it’s a move that can redefine your industry and cement your place in history.

200 Thinking About Thinking Is The Most Important Kind Of Thinking 17:26

1 year ago17:26

17:26

On this episode of Lochhead on Marketing , let’s talk about why thinking about thinking is the most important kind of thinking. This isn’t just another buzz phrase; it’s a fundamental practice that can revolutionize the way we approach entrepreneurship, marketing, and business strategy. So we thought that it would be a good idea to refresh new listeners minds and remind the old heads why Context is always King. Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing . The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. The Power of Context in Decision-Making In the realm of business, context is everything. It shapes our discussions, influences our decisions, and ultimately determines the trajectory of our companies. It’s not just about the data or the trends; it’s about grasping the bigger picture and recognizing the underlying currents that drive market dynamics. Most people, particularly those who are entrepreneurial, have a strong bias to action, diving right in and creating content without the context to support it. However, it does have it downsides sometimes. “A strong bias to action means that sometimes, and I know I’ve been guilty of this more times than I will ever know, we spring to action without doing enough thinking. More importantly, without doing enough thinking and dialoguing around what the context is for whatever it is we’re talking about.” – Christopher Lochhead Rejecting the Premise: A Pathway to Innovation One of the most exhilarating concepts we discussed was the power of rejecting the premise. So often, we’re boxed in by traditional ways of thinking, by phrases and concepts that are accepted as industry standards. But what happens when we challenge those premises? When we refuse to accept the status quo? That’s when innovation truly happens. By rejecting the premise, we open ourselves up to new possibilities, to the potential for creating entirely new categories and leading the market in directions it has never seen before. Challenging Existing Contexts: The Forward-Thinking Mindset A key takeaway from this discussion was the importance of challenging existing contexts. It’s easy to fall into the trap of backward thinking, of looking to past successes as a template for future endeavors. However, the true forward-thinking entrepreneur knows that what worked yesterday might not work tomorrow. By constantly questioning and reevaluating the context in which we operate, we stay ahead of the curve and maintain a competitive edge.

199 What Apple’s $110 Billion Stock Buy-Back Means For The Category Queen | Pirates Perspective 18:55

1 year ago18:55

18:55

Today on Lochhead on Marketing, we want to share some insights from a riveting discussion we had with Eddie Yoon, our category pirate brother, about a monumental move by Apple. We're talking about a colossal $110 billion stock buyback and what it means for the tech giant's innovation trajectory, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI). Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing. The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. Apple's Strategic Crossroads: Innovation or Shareholder Pleasing? Apple's decision to buy back stock is a strategic move that has raised eyebrows across the industry. I've always been fascinated by the bold moves that define market leaders, but this move by Apple has us questioning: Is this a sign of maturity and stability, or a red flag signaling a lack of innovative vision? Warren Buffett, a name synonymous with investment acumen, was famously tech-averse until Apple caught his eye. The staggering 95% retention rate of iPhone users and the undeniable addiction to Apple's ecosystem reminded him of his investment thesis on Coca-Cola. But as Eddie and I discussed, there's a nuance to Apple's success under Tim Cook's leadership. Despite the financial growth and profitability, the company has struggled to launch new categories—a hallmark of Apple's DNA. The Apple Watch: A Beacon of Innovation in the Cook Era It's not all a tale of caution, though. The Apple Watch stands out as a testament to Apple's ability to innovate and create new categories even post-Steve Jobs. It's a reminder that Apple still has the chops to redefine markets. But the question lingers: Is this enough to sustain Apple's legendary status? The crux of the discussion centered on the massive potential of AI, as we're just at the dawn of what could be the most significant platform shift since the internet. With Apple's deep pockets, one would expect a torrent of investments in AI, propelling the company to the forefront of this new frontier. Instead, the $110 billion stock buyback seems to suggest a different priority—short-term stock price over long-term category creation. Microsoft's Contrasting Strategy: A Global AI Chess Game Contrast Apple's strategy with Microsoft's aggressive global AI investments, and you get a stark picture of two tech titans taking divergent paths. Microsoft is placing strategic bets on AI across the globe, from the UAE to Malaysia and beyond, positioning itself as a leader in the next wave of technological revolution.

198 Complexity Is The Enemy of Revenue: Why It’s Time to Shave The Marketing Dog 14:06

1 year ago14:06

14:06

On this episode of Lochhead on Marketing, it’s time again to shave that Marketing Dog with Christopher Lochhead. If you’re an avid listener of the podcast, you probably think you’re experiencing déjà vu. But we think that people still don’t get this simple concept, that it merits a replay. It is also a good reminder for others who may be falling into the trap of overcomplicating their marketing strategies. So strap in, and get ready for some timeless advice from yours truly. Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing. The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. Quality Over Quantity: A Bruce Lee Philosophy in Marketing In the world of marketing, there's a tendency to equate being busy with effectiveness. However, Christopher likens this to a young fighter who is all showboating but lacks the strategic focus to win. This fighter often ends up being knocked out by a more experienced opponent who understands that precision and strategy trump frantic activity. This analogy perfectly encapsulates the inverse relationship between activity and results in marketing. The pressure to be omnipresent in the marketing world is immense. Marketers are often told they need to be on every channel, churning out content at an unsustainable pace. But Christopher challenges this notion with a powerful quote from martial arts legend Bruce Lee: "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." This philosophy is a stark reminder that quality and impact should always take precedence over quantity. Shaving the Marketing Dog: The Art of Elimination One of the strategies Christopher advocates for is "shaving the dog," a metaphor for the practice of eliminating the unnecessary to focus on what truly matters. By force ranking the critical components of a campaign and rigorously evaluating which elements have the maximum impact, marketers can streamline their efforts for better results. “Shave the dog. Shave that doggy down. Practice getting everything out. Consider getting even more radical.” – Christopher Lochhead Thinking Wrong to Do Right Innovation in marketing often requires us to "think wrong," to consider what is 180 degrees from what everyone else would do. This approach fosters creativity and differentiation, setting the stage for truly legendary marketing campaigns. “I learned everything I know about design from a couple of legendary designers and one of them is John Bielenberg. He’s an incredible business and corporate marketing designer. He has a perspective; he calls thinking wrong. The idea is this, when you do anything creative, ask yourself ‘what is 180 degrees from what everybody else would do? What is wrong? What would be the wrong way to go do this?’” – Christopher Lochhead This line of thinking also allows you to pursue options that multiply outcomes, as you can sift through the “wrongs” and find those that were rejected, not because it is inherently wrong, but either be not viable in the past, but now doable in our current technology or network.

197 Tesla Cybertruck: A Masterclass in Lightning Strike Marketing with Eddie Yoon 6:42

1 year ago6:42

6:42

On this episode of Lochhead on Marketing, we are presenting Christopher’s partner, friend, collaborator, and brother from another mother, Eddie Yoon, breaking down how to do a legendary marketing lightning strike with the Tesla Cybertruck as a textbook example. Eddie Yoon is the category design guru to the S &P 500, and he's written more about category design in the Harvard Business Review than anyone else alive or dead. So buckle up for a quick lightning strike of an episode, and hey ho, let’s go! Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing. The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. The Concept of a Lightning Strike Let’s talk about Lightning Strikes. Lightning Strikes have four critical ingredients: one, it should be profit-center and not an expense. Remember, marketing that does not drive revenue, category potential, or market cap, is just arts and crafts. Lightning Strikes are no different. Two, Lightning Strikes should be a strike and not a spread – meaning don’t space it over the whole course of the year; it will just dilute the effect of it that way. You want a clear point in time, a quick in and out in a certain area or market, and you’re done. The idea is to get maximum lift without spending too much. Third, it should have a multiplier effect. It must be engineered to generate word of mouth that lasts beyond the strike itself. You do it buy creating a stunt or a fight, or you want to have a very prominent giveaway. These are the things that people tell their friends and family, and spread from there. And lastly, you want to be a hijacker or hitchhiker. You want to your lightning strike to take advantage of some broader thing where you take over the conversation, or piggyback off an audience that is already established. The Cybertruck as a Lightning Strike by Tesla So, how does the Cybertruck fit into all these things? Let’s go through the list. First, the Cybertruck is a profit center in multiple ways. One is the product itself, but it also promotes the broader brand of Tesla motors. Lastly, its components are also something that can be a profit center for later generation of electric cars. It also has a multiplier effect, as it has generated word of mouth not only from Tesla car owners, but people who are either at awe or making fun of the Cybertruck’s design. Even after it’s short showcase, people are still talking about it. The design is so polarizing: you either hate it, or love it. Either way, you’re going to hear about it. The Cybertruck itself became the stunt it needed for the lightning strike to occur. Lastly, it’s hitchhiking off the launch of Apple Vision Pro, some people who are using Apple Vision Pro has been seen driving said Cybertrucks in videos and social media. It hit its target well that it hitchhiked in the Apple Vision Pro conversation to some extent, getting a rise from Apple enthusiasts. And that, my friends, is a successful lightning strike.

196 Marketing The Problem, Not Your Solution 18:09

1 year ago18:09

18:09

On this episode of Lochhead on Marketing, we talk about why marketing the user’s problem works, but marketing only your brand/product/solutions doesn’t. Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing. The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. The Importance of Understanding Consumer Problems in Marketing Market your brand/product/solution, and I think you want my money. Market my problem, and I think you want to help me. This is one of the biggest unlocks in category design for marketers. And it comes from a very simple, powerful notion: people do not buy solutions unless they have problems. Yet a lot of companies do not get this simple concept. For them, it’s always brand awareness this, or advertise this product to the “market”. They play the attention game and call it frequency and reach. But most of the users in that market only see it as a cash grab for said company. Marketing the Problem Done Right So here we present a good example of how to market a user problem, and it’s in the form of the American jeans we all know and love. Over the years, Jeans have come a long way from being those stiff dark blue pants to now being very soft and somewhat comfortable to wear. But therein lies the problem: the thing that makes it soft and pliable is very polluting and very resource-intensive. After which, they present their fix, a “remaking” of the American jeans as we know it. Framing the Problem to Create Urgency After naming the problem with the jeans, the article continues to explain that multiple companies have tried working together for years to develop jeans that are soft but not as punishing to the environment and our remaining resources. This serves as a way to intensify the problem by framing it as something that has not been solved. But now, they’ve found a solution. A solution to a problem they themselves proposed. If you follow that flow, they first introduced a problem that a user can relate to, being that the jeans they wear harms the environment. They then mention that other companies have tried but not yet succeeded in finding a solution. Only after that do they supply the solution, so you can continue to enjoy those comfortable jeans without the previous repercussions and guilt on them. Prompting users to buy new jeans and ditching the old. And that’s how you market with Category Design.
