05 Aug 2025

Description

In this episode of Differentiate or Die, hosts Cameron Olds and Dallin Merrill dive into the art of standing out in a competitive market. They explore why being "better" isn't enough—you need to be different. Using the example of Cafe Rio and Costa Vida, two Mexican restaurant chains with strikingly similar menus, the hosts unpack the pitfalls of undifferentiated branding. From urban legends about their origins to critiques of generic marketing tactics like "fresh" and "made from scratch," they highlight the need for clear, consistent, and unique messaging. Tune in for a lively discussion on avoiding the trap of blending in, with practical tips for creating a lasting competitive advantage.Sponsored by MessageOS: Keep your team's messaging clear, consistent, and on-brand with every interaction.
