COMPETING WITH ONLY SCIENCE:
Your brand is differentiated by mechanics.
Mechanics can be copied, stolen,
replaced, and cheapened.

COMPETING WITH ONLY ART:
Your brand is differentiated by biotics.
Biotics can be obfuscated, costly,
unpredictable, and susceptible.

Most consumers don’t know the
mechanics or art of what they want.
They know the feeling they want.
They know what wonder feels like.

DESIGN PROCESS OF SMART BRANDS:
Know thyself! Know thy
ecosystem!
Know thy users!
Know thy context!

DESIGN PROCESS OF SMART BRANDS:
Science: What do you do and how?
Art: What do you stand for, and why
Wonder: How do we want others to feel? (Pro Tip: don’t say delight)
Know thyself!

DESIGN PROCESS OF SMART BRANDS:
Knowing thyself helps to better
articulate how you’ll solve the problem

SMART STARTUPS:
“We need to design a way that our ideal users
will join us because they value what we’re doing”
MOST STARTUPS:
“We need to build the sign up page.”

DESIGN PROCESS OF SMART BRANDS:
Know thy ecosystem!
Science: Who do we need to make this work?
Art: Who else wants it to be this way?
Wonder: How would they want to help?

DESIGN PROCESS OF SMART BRANDS:
Eventually everything connects;
people, ideas, objects. The quality
of the connections is the key to
quality, per se.

SMART STARTUPS:
“We will partner with those who care about the problem in
the same way we do, who are invested in being part of our
solution, and who need the culture we have, to succeed.
MOST STARTUPS:
“We need to get businesses, customers, and suppliers on board”

Science: Who could use this?
Art: Who would ‘get’ this?
Wonder: Why would they want/need this?
Know thy users!
whoisPaulyting.com
DESIGN PROCESS OF SMART BRANDS:
Understand your user’s
psychology, not just their A/S/L
whoisPaulyting.com
SMART STARTUPS:
“We work with those who care about the problem the same
way we do, because we know their contentment is created
by the sum of the full experience, and not just the parts.
MOST STARTUPS:
“We are selling to people who need or want what we have”
whoisPaulyting.com
DESIGN PROCESS OF SMART BRANDS:
Science: When could this be used?
Art: How else could this be used?
Wonder: Why would they choose to use this?
Know thy context!
whoisPaulyting.com
DESIGN PROCESS OF SMART BRANDS:
Be ruthless to identify the
context - is the payoff worth it?
whoisPaulyting.com
SMART STARTUPS:
“We know that people seek to achieve a felt result, how ever it
can be realized. We want our value to be perceived through
our commitment to understanding and fulfilling their desired
result, rather than simply selling our solution.”
MOST STARTUPS:
“We sell value in these specific situations”

TAKE AWAY:
People are always looking for things to make their lives
better, to save more, to lose less, to improve their chances
at success and fulfillment and so forth.
In order to provide value, how better can you understand
yourself, the ecosystem, your users, and their context?
