The Charlie Intelligence Brief
A custom research-backed strategic forecast designed to help you see what's emerging in your market. The Charlie Intelligence Brief (CIB) is a comprehensive 12-15 page guide that combines cultural foresight, futuring frameworks, and creative intelligence to give you clarity on where your industry is headed and exactly how to position your brand to lead it. This isn't about reacting to what's already happened. It's about seeing around corners and moving forward strategically, creatively, and confidently.
Who this is for:
Founders and CEOs making high-stakes decisions about positioning, pivots, or product/service launches
Brand strategists and marketing leaders tired of playing catch-up to competitors
Creative agencies looking to differentiate their approach and lead with intelligence
Product teams building for the future
Any leader who knows that guessing is expensive and wants research-backed clarity instead
Anyone in the creator economy who wants to map out a brand, content, and community strategy rooted in research and not guesswork
What problems does it solve:
The reactive cycle problem. You're constantly responding to what competitors do instead of setting the pace yourself
The clarity gap problem. Every decision feels like a coin flip because you don't have a clear view of where your market is actually headed
The trend trap problem. You're drowning in think pieces, trend reports, and hot takes, but none of them tell you what to do about your specific brand
The AI disruption anxiety problem. Every market is being reshaped by technology, cultural shifts, and changing behaviors, and you're not sure how to navigate it
The generic consulting problem. Traditional consultants give you a 60-page deck, charge $50K+, and disappear, leaving you to figure out implementation alone
The DIY overwhelm problem. You've tried piecing together insights yourself, but it's taking weeks, and you still don't have confidence in the conclusions
What makes this different
Unlike generic trend reports that tell you what everyone already knows, or expensive consultants who give you theory without action, the CIB is custom-built for your industry, your market, and your specific challenges. We don't just tell you what's happening, we show you what it means for your brand and give you a roadmap to act on it. Powered by The Charlie Mulan Method, this is research-backed intelligence designed to be used, not filed away.
What you walk away with:
Knowing what's shifting in your industry right now, culturally, technologically, behaviorally, and what it means for you
Insight into where your competitors are positioned, where the gaps are, and where you have the opportunity to lead
A clear, differentiated position in your market that sets you apart and positions you for what's coming
Specific, prioritized opportunities ranked by impact and feasibility, so you know exactly where to focus
A 6-month rollout plan, phased implementation timeline with clear milestones because strategy without execution is just theory
A 30-day window for clarifying questions as you implement
Why this matters now
Every market is being disrupted by AI, by shifting consumer behaviors, by new competitors who don't play by the old rules. The brands that will win in 2026 and beyond aren't the ones with the biggest budgets. They're the ones who see what's coming and position themselves early. The CIB gives you that foresight, so you can move from reactive to strategic, from guessing to knowing, from following to leading.
Think of us as: Your strategic intelligence partner, giving you the research, clarity, and confidence to make decisions that position your brand for the future.
