What is Category Pirates?
Category Pirates is the authority on Category Creation and Category Design.
Every Wednesday (ish), we publish a mini-book
for the radically different—who want to see, design, and dominate categories of consequence.
Topics include:
How to create new categories and redesign old ones.
The Magic Triangle, The 9 Levers, The Category Design Scorecard, and dozens of frameworks for how to create and design new categories in the world.
Case studies for how successful companies have successfully created and/or redesigned existing categories (and where other companies have gone wrong).
Motivational examples of the power of creating and investing in category creators such as Tesla, Netflix, Amazon, Airbnb, and more.
Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox.
Free subscribers receive one out of every four mini-books.
Paying subscribers receive mini-books
every week.
Why join the Navy if you can be a pirate?
- Steve Jobs
