Philosophy
Think Outside The Circle.
Most marketing problems aren't marketing problems — they're clarity problems. Jerome's approach starts with understanding the business, the audience, and the gap between them. From there, strategy follows naturally. The circle represents unconventional thinking for a conventional problem ("the box"). Outside it is where growth lives.
