Bear or Squirrel: Adapting to the New Reality
Over the last 20 years of in-depth observation and conversation with consumers, we have been first-hand witnesses to a shift in marketplace culture. Corporations’ ability to adapt to these shifts can be compared to the adaptability of the bear versus the squirrel: the lone mighty bear has not learned to effectively adapt to a changing environment and has become endangered; meanwhile the ubiquitously co-existent, nimble squirrel has flourished in the face of change. In today’s marketplace, companies need to learn from the ways of the squirrel in order to re-engage and stay relevant. By co-creating their brand with consumers, PortiCo Prophet’s clients can have an impact that extends well beyond the old establish boundaries of corporate engagement. Creating a comprehensive and cooperative ideology can reestablish one’s corporate brand image, making it an integral player within, and alongside, society -- for today and in the long run.

Bearing Witness to the Future: Unlocking Genius at Your Pace PortiCo Prophet invites you to step beyond transactional exchanges and into an era of transformation that will launch your team into the future with confidence. By combining the power of consumer insight with creativity development and coaching, PortiCo Prophet will give you the keys to unlock your genius and proclaim your calling.

PortiCo Prophet has expertise to:

  • Identify ethnographic evidence to guide your growth and innovation.

At any level of engagement – single-experience workshops or longer-term growth programs— the basic methods that support transition are dynamic. Any level of exposure to the principles of working and relating to consumers in an environment of change is beneficial to brand development, and clients are encouraged to choose the level of commitment and transformation that feels right to them. After all, consumer alignment breeds loyalty, and consumer loyalty is the best marker for profitability.
