Hands up, who else loves a spot of brand-flavoured navel-gazing?
Two years ago we picked the company name Trigger Strategy Group in a last-minute scramble for our first client project. The name has, shall we say, one or two issues. (On the upside, it was a perfect example of Hard Test Easy Life: if you can make something work despite its flaws, you know you might be onto something.) But it was about time we gave things some proper thought.
- How naming a company in 20 minutes can haunt you for 2 years
- The surprising violence baked into “trigger strategy” (thanks, game theory)
- The difference between command, control, and cephalopods
- What bees, psychiatric hospitals, and chatGPT have in common
In short, our company is now called Crown & Reach, and our podcast is called Tentacles.
