(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Bain & Company reports on 2026 Insurgent Brands (US and India), the research firm has identified and documented a cohort of brands achieving sustained high growth. The reports provide a framework for identifying and tracking disruptive consumer brands.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): download the full Bain reports and reverse-engineer the brands on the list. Look for: (1) what category they own (e.g., ready-to-drink, direct-to-consumer apparel), (2) where they distribute (online, retail, both), (3) what narrative they lead with (heritage, innovation, sustainability). Then map your own brand against the same three axes. If you're weaker on two of three, that's your 2026 focus. The reports are free research; most operators never read them. You will.\nWhat that means for you: Most growth frameworks are academic or consultant-speak. Bain's Insurgent list is different—they back-tested it on actual brands with actual growth. It's not 'go viral'—it's 'own a category, hold a narrative, sustain growth.' The insurgent cohort is worth studying not because you'll copy one brand, but because the pattern is documented and proven. If you're wondering whether your brand has insurgent potential, map it against the list and be honest about where you stand.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Bain & Company: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMioAFBVV95cUxPbGVFY1p2RzVESkJNLUI1eDB3YnJ0Q1VwMHhnR19BeXhUdjQzdGRRM2VqM2ZWWlF1ODU0LXROekpBbmlLNVJsTnhpbTlMS05YUW.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
