🧵 1/ What if you never had to "build a team" again? Just post a task. A dev shows up. They ship. You pay them in $PHEN. No meetings. No calls. No excuses. Welcome to @phenomenon.

5/ You think you're early? You are. But by the time you understand what we’re building, it’s already live. Already earning. Already routing value through $PHEN.

6/ Early contributors are being paid in $PHEN. Test tasks are getting filled. The code is real. The chaos is structured. The flywheel is starting.

how to effectively waste your time and budget with a brand agency / freelancer and get a horrible output regardless of who you work with: give feedback and drive design decisions at every microscopic detail. (provided you don't have design experience yourself)

Hardware is fun because you get to do things like design a user manual

I've talked to nearly 1,300 clients in the last 3 years. One thing I'm convinced of: Companies want generalist designers. Designers who can design landing pages, while designing logos, while designing slide decks. Restricting yourself to just one thing is a really bad idea.

It took me 24 months to learn this. I'll teach you in 1 minute: I used to design websites all wrong. Here's what I learned... My old process: - find inspo for moodboard - jump into Figma - stare at a blank canvas for hours. Sound familiar? I bet I'm not the only one who's been there. The result? Designs that didn't quite hit the mark. I'd worry over what comes after the hero section, perfect layouts... but something was always missing. Here's the truth bomb: COPY IS KING. Put this straight in your head. It changed everything for me. Now, I start with the copy. Then design. It's like magic – suddenly, everything falls into place. Why? Because: Good Copy + Poor Design = $$$ Poor Copy + Good Design = :( The goal is clarity. Your visitors don't give a damn about your fancy website. They want a clear solution to their problem. Write like you're talking to your ideal buyer. Ask yourself: - Does it create urgency? - Are your CTAs crystal clear? - Does it clearly communicate your value? If not, you're leaving money on the table. Treat your website like your #1 salesperson. Because that's exactly what it is. Remember: Your website isn't for everyone. It's a love letter to your ideal buyer. Make it count!

working as an agency you realize that most of our revenue comes from 3-4 key client accounts. not just due to their initial contract value but also from retainers, referrals, and further projects.

“what is 'good design' in the age of AI?” for me, it’s designing around what AI can reliably do today in pragmatic, high-impact ways—not purely chasing future hype The Prompt is available in print at #Config2024 or online at figma.com/blog/welcome-to-th…

Think of it this way: When we design a product, we're essentially creating a language for our users. It's a language of clicks, swipes, and touches, but it's also a language of experiences, expectations, and emotions.

CPB has nearly 100% brand recognition in Hawaii, so we didn’t consider a name change but the visual identity is completely new. It was created by @Phenomenon, IMO the best brand strategy firm in the US.
