Over the past 20 years, category creation and category design has gone from being a little-known "positioning" secret from advertising legends like David Ogilvy, Leo Burnett, Al Ries, Jack Trout, Gary Halbert, and more, to now becoming the single most in-demand skill among business leaders, Fortune 500 executives, Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, marketers, and even the next generation of digital creators.

Category Creation is the first and only audiobook on the topic written by executives and marketers actively building new categories. It explains how category creation has become the Holy Grail of marketing and, more importantly, how it can be planned and orchestrated. It's not about luck.

How can someone like me create a category of my own?” This reveals maybe the single greatest benefit of category design: anyone can do it, at any stage of their life.
