9 PLAYBOOKS · GROWING
Crash-replacement and wear-out programme
Build a crash-replacement or wear-out programme that earns customer loyalty instead of draining margin. Tier rules, claim handling, evidence requirements, fraud safeguards.
End-of-season inventory and clearance
Manage the end-of-season inventory cycle for seasonal endurance gear. Forecast accuracy, clearance timing, channel sequencing, brand-protective discounting.
Customer content rights pipeline
Get permission to use customer race photos and gear reviews in marketing at scale, without burning the relationship. Consent, attribution, AI augmentation policy.
Gear launch sequence for endurance brands
The 12-month calendar for launching a product in a sport with a season. Build phase, pre-orders, public reveal, race-day proof, sustained sell-through.
Quarterly planning ritual for AI-leveraged marketing
A repeatable 5-day ritual that converts last quarter's learning into next quarter's bets. Built for marketing functions that ship faster than the calendar.
Hiring shape for AI-native marketing teams
The role taxonomy, the interview signal, the trial-task pack. How to staff a marketing function whose leverage comes from AI without becoming a team of prompt engineers.
Evaluation frameworks for marketing AI outputs
How to score AI-generated marketing work objectively. Rubrics, deterministic checks, model-as-judge patterns, calibration ritual.
Brand guardrails as code
Turn the brand guidelines from a PDF nobody reads into a programmatic check that runs on every piece of content before it ships. Catches drift before, not after.
Brief-to-ship marketing pipeline
A single operating system for the marketing function. Brief intake, eval-gated production, scheduled ship day, post-mortem feedback. Replaces ten tools and three meetings.
