DO YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO COMPARE YOUR MARKETING NARRATIVES TO OURS?
By leveraging bold stories and disruptive positioning, we captivate and engage consumers by infusing nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals with attention-grabbing, emotional narratives that enhance awareness and produce immediate ROI.
Disruptive Direct Response (DDR) rapidly reshuffles markets, creates havoc amongst the competition, and evokes immediate consumer action… for both emerging and struggling brands.
So, do your current, uninspired narratives measure up? If not, how can you expect to stand out? When past branding strategies have delivered mediocre results, it’s time to connect with customers in new, surprising, and provocative ways.
Let’s discuss how DDR can quickly put your brand on the map!
PS: We have proof of our success… not clicks or engagements but actual dollars! At least three of the narratives below have done well over $100 million. Four have done over $50 million… and one surpassed $1 billion in under five years. Can you guess which ones?

Our Methodology: Decoding Market Dynamics
​
Most marketing fails because it speaks to everyone—and connects with no one. Our Disruptive Direct Response approach breaks through the noise by:
​
1. Identifying Critical Inflection Points
​
-
Pinpoint transformative market moments
-
Decode emerging customer desires
-
Anticipate shifts before they happen
2. Crafting Semiotic Narratives
​
-
Design story frameworks that transcend traditional messaging
-
Create visual and verbal language that reshapes perception
-
Build memorable brand archetypes
3. Strategic Positioning
​
-
Define new market categories
-
Establish thought leadership
-
Convert narrative into measurable market advantage
​
The Result: Campaigns that don't just communicate—they transform markets.
​
Our track record speaks volumes: 23+ years of turning innovative narratives into competitive dominance.
What To Expect from DDR
​
Think of Us as Your ‘Skunk Works’
​
A Skunk Works project is an innovative undertaking involving a small group of people outside an organization's normal research and development channels.
​
When it comes to nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals, consumer expectations have changed… dramatically. The result? Many excellent formulations sit dormant on shelves because a once compelling marketing narrative has gone stale.
We offer customized strategies so our clients can quickly adapt from product to product, region- to-region, customer-to-customer. DDR has the skill and experience to find your best, most compelling narrative… one that propels products from the back of the shelf to the top spot in a new category.
​
We don’t replace your creative department… we give them million-dollar ideas to make their work and your brand more successful. Full stop!
​
For example: Tasked with positioning a new NOx booster in an already crowded market full of illegal claims, we positioned VolcaNO as the NOx boost for serious contenders. Before the terms became popular, we emphasized the “biohacking” aspect of the formula and “vein-annihilating results.” In short, all other NOx boosters “were made for sissies.” Bingo!
​
“Better Than Botox?” Is this the best cosmetics headline in history? We think so -- but then again, we wrote it. The result has been a remarkable iconic brand with sales that have by now exceeded $1 billion worldwide. This single headline took a failing stretch mark cream and turned it into an “anti-wrinkle phenomenon.” The ad calls it dumb luck; we call it genius (mixed with dumb luck, of course).
​
When others had typical lash enhancers, we re-invented a classic French narrative with a film noir look and feel.
​
When ad agencies and marketing consultants pontificated that a new weight loss pill should NEVER be priced above $69 a bottle, we disagreed… enter Leptopril. Perhaps you remember our 30 and 60 sec ads. Here’s the headline that turned Lepopril into a $100 million brand: “When is a diet pill worth $153.00? When it works!”
When a new probiotic pill that also offered weight loss was struggling to catch fire, we turned the tables. Instead of a probiotic with weight loss, ProbioSlim became the weight loss pill with probiotics… this not so small change in positioning made all the difference.
