CATEGORY STRATEGY
Do you have a complex, nuanced offering that has no precedent?
So did flok.
flok Health came to us with a story so dense and nuanced that even their own community had trouble understanding it.
Their offering was a first-to-market technology for people with Inherited Metabolic Disorders. After deep research and alignment, Math Dept. led a Category Design program that unlocked their unique story through a differentiated positioning.
Once we designed a category story that the founders and board enthusiastically approved, the message to the community and beyond started to unfold: the world’s first Daily Care and Community Research Platform for Inherited Metabolic Disorders.
From that positioning strategy, we constructed a specialized team to create a brand video that expressed flok’s vision and hope behind their breakthrough medical app.
