Mike Bruce is a Brand Growth Architect and Consultant and the founder of Mike Bruce Design, a brand growth architecture company based in Abuja and working with growing companies across Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the United States, often at the moment they enter a new market, prepare a raise or outgrow their brand. His work starts from one thesis: most brands don't have a marketing problem, they have a clarity problem. He created the Brand Growth OS™, a four-phase operating system (Clarify, Construct, Connect, Convert), and the Positioning Matrix™, a diagnostic that plots a company between generic and specific, and between low and high price. Brands rebuilt on that system include Elizabeth & Lanky, which recorded 120% revenue growth following its relaunch, and Ikeja Hotels, which recorded a 45% increase in qualified inbound leads. Mike writes The Brand Code, a daily publication on positioning, pricing and brand visibility in the age of AI search, and is writing DROP, a book on why perceived value rises by subtraction, not addition.
