The world's most lux brands only use capital letters 👀
Absolutely shocked that @Wendys is *not* all caps.

1/ Brex raised new funding at a $7.4B valuation.

Interestingly, the corporate card startup launched in 2018 with a very successful $300k out-of-home (OOH) ad campaign.

Here's a breakdown of Brex's OOH strategy 🧵 Image
2/ First, what are out-of-home (OOH) ads?

There are 4 major categories:

◻️ Street furniture (bus benches, phone kiosks)
◻️transit (taxis, busses, airports)
◻️place-based (arenas, shopping malls)
◻️billboards (traditional and digital)

Billboards make up 60%+ of OOH inventory. Image
3/ What's interesting about OOH is that if used correctly, the cost to reach 1k people (aka CPM) is cheaper than other ad options. Image

No one:

Startups:

“We’re called Kan Opnr, a smart hardware company disrupting the $10 trillion global food industry.”
We move fast here at TRUNG INDUSTRIES.

Have a Zoom with 10 different Chinese manufacturers this afternoon for Kan Opnr.

Received 8 terms sheets at a $30-50m valuation.

And just paid $28k for 4 logo designs from Fivver

Let me know which y’all want.
Some crowdsourced ideas to make Kan Opnr a unicorn:
◻️ Make a fragile handle that breaks frequently so the customer has to subscribe for a monthly replacement (COAAS, Can-opening-as-a-service)
◻️ Customizable rubber grips (like Apple Watch straps)
◻️ Install Alexa mic

You've definitely heard of "The Hero's Journey", the narrative structure found in countless stories dating back to Homer's Odyssey in ~7th century BC.

A great way to learn the framework: comparing scene-by-scene images from "The Matrix" and "Star Wars".

Check it out🧵
0/ The "Hero's Journey" was coined by Joseph Campbell, an American literary prof.

He studied ancient myths and found many shared a similar character arc (AKA the "monomyth").

It follows 12 stages, with a hero venturing from an "ordinary world" to a "special world" and back.
1/ Ordinary world

The hero's normal life before the adventure begins:

◻️ Luke Skywalker lives on a farm in Tatooine
◻️ Neo is a corporate slave in the real world
