What’s the Source Approach?
The Source Approach method installs the brand intelligence operating system, Brand Source OS, that accelerates profitable growth at scale by training, powering, and unifying your team and AI from one source of truth.
A decade ago, as a new CMO for a growing brand, I saw a frustrating pattern: we were churning through talented agencies and freelancers. The results weren’t there, and the churn was expensive.
The real problem became clear after hearing our CEO say something I’ll never forget: โIf they just understood our customer and product like I do, they could finally be effective.โ
He was right. The problem wasnโt the talent; it was the transfer of knowledge. So, I developed the first ‘Source Codes’โa system to bottle that essential founder-level knowledge. For years, this method, The Source Approach, aligned human teams for incredible results.
Then came the rise of AI, and I had a second lightbulb moment. That same ‘Source Code’ was the perfect way to give a brand’s AI its authentic soul and strategic brain. This led to the creation of the ‘Brand Source OS’โthe system I use today to unify both your people and your technology into a single, unstoppable growth engine.
