Chat co-pilot surfaces meaning gaps and symbolic moves for launch, refresh, repositioning.
Modeled on a semiotician’s workflow, Semiotic Strategist reveals where brands can launch, refresh, or disrupt by decoding cultural codes, mapping tensions, and aligning signs across every touchpoint. Its 7-part framework tracks symbols, visuals, and language in concert, so teams spot meaning gaps, swap stronger codes in, and sharpen differentiation before the competition blinks.
