Description

What separates boring brands from billion-dollar breakthroughs? In this episode of Marketing Misfits, Norm Farrar and Kevin King sit down with Jesse Wroblewski, author of Marketing for Supervillains, to break down the art and science of true brand differentiation. Forget chasing trends. Jesse reveals how the best brands from Liquid Death to Metallica’s Blackened Whiskey break out of the commodity trap by crafting iconic offers, mic-drop moments, and emotional bonds with customers. You'll learn how to turn your product into a movement, build loyalty that drives referrals, and create content that makes customers say, "Finally... someone gets me." Whether you’re stuck in the race to the bottom, dealing with a crowded Amazon niche, or building a lifestyle brand from scratch. This is your playbook for standing out.


What You’ll Learn:

- Why “Red Ocean, Blue Offer” beats niching down

- The 12 Differentiation Planets from Jesse’s book

- How packaging & storytelling boosted a $16 knife into a $135 product

- Liquid Death, Ginsu knives, Metallica whiskey & more case studies

- When to focus on humor, heritage, lifestyle or process
