Did #Lululemon just tell customers they’re overpaying?. Their lawsuit against #Costco’s $28 leggings could backfire – validating the dupe as “just as good.”. #PricingStrategy #BrandEquity #CMOInsights #ChiefMarketingExec #eCommerceDigitalCMO #CMO.

Launching in a crowded market? Timing. Targeting. Tactics. That’s how you win—without being the loudest or the cheapest. Learn how brands can own saturated spaces. #ProductLaunch #CMO #BrandDifferentiation #ChiefMarketingExec #eCommerceDigitalCMO.

Let’s get one thing straight: saturated markets aren’t roadblocks—they’re arenas. The fact that a category is crowded means there's already demand.

Speed > Perfection. In GTM strategy, "done" beats "perfect." If you’re still fine-tuning your slides, your competitor is already in front of your customer. New blog👉 #GoToMarket #Marketing #CMO #ChiefMarketingExec #eCommerceDigitalCMO @CompetitiveMktg.

Let’s be honest—perfection is a luxury most brands can’t afford anymore. In today’s hypercompetitive markets, speed is the new differentiator.

#Marketing innovation isn’t a buzzword. It’s your competitive moat. But only if you systematize it. 📈 Turn big ideas into repeatable revenue engines →. #ChiefMarketingExec #eCommerceDigitalCMO @CompetitiveMktg #CMO #InterimCMO #FractionalCMO.

Let’s be honest—if your marketing team is still waiting for “big ideas” to show up during brainstorms, you’re already behind. Innovation isn’t spontaneous combustion.
